This week, Dr. Anthony Yu (@Anthony_YuMD) welcomes Dr. Eric McCarty from the University of Colorado School of Medicine and head team doc for the 2022 NHL champion Colorado Avalanche and Dr. Adnan Saithna (@phx_ortho) from AZBSC Orthopedics in Scottsdale-Phoenix, AZ for a 2-part discussion on biceps tenodesis, looking at this procedure in different situations. In Part 1, we discuss “SLAP Repair Versus Subpectoral Biceps Tenodesis for Isolated SLAP Type 2 Lesions in Overhead Athletes Younger Than 35 Years,” coming to us from the famed Steadman Philippon Research Institute in Vail, published in OJSM in June. Our experts share their insights on the treatment decision-making they employ with this patient population, and how the pendulum has swung from SLAP repair to tenodesis over the years.
