Evaluation of a curved intramedullary button vs. traditional flat button for proximal biceps tenodesis: a biomechanical study
In this time-zero in-vitro study, the curved and flat buttons exhibited similar biomechanical properties in terms of displacement, load to failure, and stiffness. Considering these results and the theoretical advantages of the curved button, this technique could be a new alternative for the treatment of proximal long-head biceps tendon pathology.
