First seen Jan 05, 2026 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 16 times

Summary

This study looked at 60 people aged 40-65 having rotator cuff repair surgery. Some had an extra procedure to cut the long head of the biceps tendon, while others did not. The goal was to see if cutting the tendon improves shoulder function and pain more than repair alone, using questionnaires and ultrasound imaging.
