Outcomes Following Arthroscopic Suprapectoral and Open Subpectoral Biceps Tenodesis at Short- to Midterm Follow-up: A Systematic Review
This systematic review of 43 studies found that both ASPBT and OSPBT were associated with improvement in a variety of PROs, while complication rates were comparable between techniques. While ASPBT is associated with a higher incidence of postoperative stiffness and a greater rate of reoperations, OSPBT was reported to lead to a higher incidence of wound infections and iatrogenic nerve injuries.
