Outcomes after surgery for biceps tendon injury
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at how well patients do after surgery for a biceps tendon injury, using a specific surgical technique. It may help you understand what results to expect if you have had this type of surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were at least 18 years old when you had surgery for a biceps tendon injury.
- Your surgery was done within 30 days of the injury.
- You were treated at the Rizzoli Orthopedic Institute using a specific camera-guided technique (arthroscopy-assisted).
- Your surgery happened between January 1, 2017 and December 31, 2022.
- You haven't had any other arm problems after surgery (like a fracture or new tendon injury) that were not related to this surgery.

This study is testing a new surgical technique for repairing a torn rotator cuff while also addressing the biceps tendon. It aims to see if adding this biceps procedure improves recovery and outcomes for people with full-thickness tears.
This study looks at how to treat the biceps tendon when someone is getting surgery for a rotator cuff tear. It may help improve outcomes after surgery and recovery, especially when there is also a supraspinatus tear.
This study looks at how repairing a torn rotator cuff (a group of muscles around the shoulder) along with addressing a damaged biceps tendon affects recovery. It helps see which surgical approach works best for people with both issues.
This trial studies a specific surgical approach to repair medium to large rotator cuff tears (a common shoulder injury) using minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery combined with biceps tendon repair. It aims to evaluate outcomes in patients who are good candidates for this type of surgery.
This study compares two simple ways to treat a painful biceps tendon in the shoulder: cutting the tendon alone or cutting it and anchoring it with a small stitch. The goal is to see which technique gives better relief using both how you feel and an ultrasound picture.
This study evaluates a new physical examination technique to diagnose biceps tendon problems in the shoulder. Researchers will compare this new test to standard imaging (like MRI) to see if it's reliable and accurate.
