Analysis of the Fixation of the Proximal Long Head of the Biceps Tendon
Ten randomly selected patients that have undergone an open proximal biceps tendon tenodesis
with an EndoButton for bicipital pathology with Christopher Schmidt, MD, will be asked to
participate in the study. The study will assess the tendon healing to bone through magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI). Individuals will also be asked to fill a visual analog scale (VAS)
pain and disability of the arm shoulder and hand (DASH) assessment tools. The variables for
our objective will include age, hand dominance, gender and chronicity of symptoms prior to
surgery, and other related surgical procedures.
