Patients were divided into two groups based on intraoperative management of the distal LHBT: the LHBT\u2010retained group and the LHBT\u2010tenotomy group. Statistical comparisons included repeated\u2010measures ANOVA, two\u2010way mixed\u2010design ANOVA, chi\u2010square\/Fisher's exact tests, and Mann\u2013Whitney\n                      <jats:italic>U<\/jats:italic>\n                      tests as appropriate. The visual analog scale (VAS), American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, constant score and range of motion (ROM), and the acromiohumeral distance (AHD) were assessed as outcome measures.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      No major surgical complications were observed in any patient after surgery. The VAS score (7.0 vs. 0.6), AHD (3.2\u2009\u00b1\u20091.1 vs. 7.8\u2009\u00b1\u20090.8\u2009mm), ASES (38 vs. 92), constant score (41 vs. 80), and ROM were statistically improved compared to their preoperative values. All patients were further subdivided into two groups according to the management of the distal end of the LHBT after transposition and fixation (retained group: the distal part of the LHBT was retained; tenotomy group: the distal part of the LHBT was resected). The two groups had comparable baseline demographic and clinical characteristics. We found that tenotomy group showed more significant function improvement within 12\u2009months postoperatively (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.05) compared with retained group. Nevertheless, compared with tenotomy group, the AHD of retsained group increased by 1.9\u2009mm (5.0\u2009\u00b1\u20091.2\u2009mm vs. 3.1 \u00b1 0.8mm). Postoperative imaging assessment at 2\u2009years revealed low and comparable retear rates (grades IV\u2013V) between groups (retained group: 9.7% vs. tenotomy group: 7.1%).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>SCR using the LHBT autograft significantly improves outcomes in massive RCTs. While both techniques are effective, patients with distal biceps tenotomy (tenotomy group) exhibited superior early functional recovery (within 12\u2009months), whereas those with an intact distal LHBT (retained group) demonstrated significantly greater improvement in AHD.
