Study Summary

This trial is comparing two surgeries for treating a SLAP tear. One surgery (SLAP repair) is common and the other (biceps tenodesis) is newer and thought to be better. They want to see if the newer surgery is actually better by comparing the two in a group of patients.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for young adults aged 18-30 who have a specific shoulder injury called a SLAP tear and are able to give consent. It's not open to those under 18 or over 30, pregnant individuals, people with past shoulder surgeries, or those needing repair for an associated rotator cuff tear.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares two surgical treatments for SLAP tears in the shoulder: Self-Locking Tenotomy (SLAP repair) and Biceps Tenodesis. The goal is to see which surgery offers better outcomes in managing pain and stiffness after the operation.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects from both procedures may include pain at the surgery site, stiffness in the shoulder, possible nerve damage, infection risk at incision sites, and complications related to anesthesia.
