Bone Quality Positively Correlates With Biomechanical Strength of All-Suture Anchors Utilized in Biceps Tenodesis
ASAs can effectively be placed throughout the bicipital groove. ASAs in all 3 tested positions can withstand not only the force reportedly placed on the anchor by the native biceps but also the force previously reported to cause failure at the suture-biceps tendon interface. These biomechanical findings add to the growing clinical and basic science evidence supporting the use of ASA for BT.
