The investigators aimed to compare two different forearm positions, extension-pronation (EP) or neutral, for fixation of the long head of the biceps tendon (LHB) in biceps tenodesis.
Long head of biceps pathologies have been regarded as a source of anterior shoulder pain and disability. Tenodesis is preferable surgical choice for especially young patients to to eliminate anterior shoulder pain. The optimal position of the elbow and forearm during tenodesis is a debated topic. The investigators aimed to evaluate pain and strength loss after biceps tenodesis fixed at extension-pronation (EP) and neutral positions. The investigators aimed to find the most appropriate and anatomical arm position that gives better clinical and functional results.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fixated in the EP position | Active Comparator | Long head of biceps tenodesis was performed for 25 patients whose joints were fixated while forearm in the extension-pronation (EP) position |
|
| Fixated in the neutral position | No Intervention | Long head of biceps tenodesis was performed for 25 patients whose joints were fixated while forearm in the neutral position (elbow 90 degrees flexed and hands positioned with the thump pointing up |
| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
