The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the clinical impact of restoring the anatomic-tension relationship of the long head of the biceps (LHB) when performing a biceps tenotomy and tenodesis. The main question it aims to answer is whether anatomic tensioning will improve functional outcome scores and decrease postoperative complications. The investigators hypothesize that through a standardized method of anatomically tensioning the LHB tendon during tenodesis, patient outcomes will improve. Researchers will compare these outcomes to a control group receiving the traditional tensioning technique. Participants will be randomized to either the anatomic tensioning treatment group or the traditional tensioning control group.
