Biceps tenodesis was performed in patients who had failed conservative management and exhibited evidence of biceps pathology at the time of surgery that appeared to be contributing to the patient's pain. Evaluation criteria included integrity of the repair by physical examination, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score, visual analog scale for pain, and recording any complications and the need for revision surgery.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 80\/96 patients (83%) were available for evaluation at a minimum of 2\u2009years including 43 men and 37 women with an average age of 53 (range 17\u201072). Postoperatively, the average in\u2010office follow\u2010up was 17\u2009months (range 1.5\u201079\u2009months), and the average phone contact follow\u2010up was 55\u2009months (range 24\u201089\u2009months). Ninety\u2010one percent (73\/80) of patients in this series maintained normal biceps contour. The average American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score improved from 41 (range: 0\u201082) to an average of 83 (range 18\u2010100) (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u2009.001).

Minimal clinically important difference thresholds (1.47 for Visual analog scale, 14.3 for American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score) were met by 81% and 78.5% of patients, respectively.
