Advantages and Disadvantages

Advantages

Our operative technique using all-arthroscopic visualization can reduce the probability of intraoperative neurovascular injury and postoperative infection.

This technique reduces unnecessary extra incisions and the need for specialty sutures or instruments.

The knotless technique reduces potential adverse effects regarding knotted suture anchors.

The anchor site is flexible.

This technique is simple to perform and easy for surgeons to learn and repeat.

This technique is a time-saving tenodesis technique.

Disadvantages

New practice cure is necessary for operators.

If the suture of the loop is too close to the edge of the biceps incision, the proximal biceps can be removed during or after surgery.

There is a possible risk of suture anchor pulling out.

The onlay knotless suture anchor tenodesis technique might result in insufficient contact surface for the tendon-to-bone healing.

Clinical follow-up data are lacking.
