Shoulder surgery study pulled before it started: one anchor or two?
NCT ID NCT06797128
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study was designed to compare two standard surgical techniques for bicep tenodesis—using one anchor or two mini anchors—to see which keeps the tendon in place better. It planned to track tendon movement with X-rays right after surgery, at 2 weeks, and at 6 months. However, the study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results are available.
