NCT06797128 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Last updated 2026-04-24

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Participants who are indicated for an open biceps tenodesis procedure will be recruited to join the study. The participant will undergo the standard biceps tenodesis procedure using either one standard anchor or two mini anchors by the study staff surgeon. Both techniques are safe and considered standard of care. The participant will be randomized to either group. After the biceps are secured in the standard fashion, a sterile radiolucent bead will be applied to the tendon. The participant will undergo xray imaging in the post-anesthesia care unit to determine a baseline measurement of the location of the radiolucent bead. The participant will then undergo further xray imaging at their 2 week and 6 month-up visits.
