Review Question - QID 220015

A 54-year-old male presents to the orthopedic clinic for follow-up regarding a 10-month history of right shoulder pain. The patient’s surgical history includes a left shoulder arthroscopic debridement with an open subpectoral biceps tenodesis 5 years prior. His physical exam and shoulder MRI are consistent with biceps tendonitis. A prior ultrasound-guided steroid injection in the bicipital groove gave 90% pain relief for approximately 4 weeks. He is indicated for a right shoulder diagnostic arthroscopy with arthroscopic suprapectoral biceps tenodesis. How should the patient be counseled regarding his expected outcome after arthroscopic biceps tenodesis compared to his prior open biceps tenodesis?
