Muscles that Move the Arm

5.9K
Nine muscles are involved in arm movements. Two of these, the pectoralis major and latissimus dorsi, originate from the axial skeleton and are called axial muscles. The other seven originate from the scapula and are called the scapular muscles.
The pectoralis major has two origins. Its clavicular head originates on the medial half of the clavicle. In contrast, the sternocostal head originates on the costal cartilages of ribs 1-6, the sternum, and the aponeurosis of the external oblique of the...

Suprapectoral biceps tenodesis effectively treats isolated SLAP tears in athletes, showing improved pain scores and high return to sport rates. This procedure offers excellent functional outcomes for athletes seeking to regain pre-injury performance levels.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Shoulder Arthroscopy

Background:

  • Superior Labrum Anterior Posterior (SLAP) tears often lead to persistent pain and limited return to sport after traditional surgical repair.
  • Biceps tenodesis is emerging as a favorable alternative, demonstrating reduced post-operative pain and enhanced functional recovery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the functional outcomes and return to sport rates in athletes following suprapectoral biceps tenodesis for isolated SLAP tears.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective study of athletes with isolated SLAP tears between January and October 2023.
  • Assessment of functional outcomes (UCLA, Constant scores), pain (VAS score), and return to sport at six months post-surgery.

Main Results:

  • Significant improvements in pain and functional scores were observed within three months post-surgery, with a plateau thereafter.
  • All patients returned to sport, with an average return to sport time of 5.2 months.
  • 82% of athletes achieved return to sport at their pre-injury level.

Conclusions:

  • Suprapectoral biceps tenodesis is a safe and reproducible surgical option for isolated SLAP tears in athletes.
  • The procedure yields excellent functional outcomes and high rates of return to sport, even at pre-injury levels.
