Biomechanical Performance of Three Suture Fixation Techniques for Proximal Biceps Tenodesis: A Human Cadaveric Study
a l P r e -p r o o f time-zero fixation and be potentially more resilient to unexpected early loading events.Further clinical research is warranted to determine if these biomechanical advantages translate to better patient outcomes. What are new findings? Higher ultimate load to failure with the lark loop technique compared to the 360 double lasso loop and double Krackow stitch. Distinct failure mechanisms described for tenodesis constructs on human long head biceps tendons. Load to failure forces described for tenodesis constructs on human long head biceps tendons to be used for future reference.
