Nonoperative Treatment of the Biceps-Labral Complex - 31/03/23

Résumé |
The long head of the biceps and superior labrum should be evaluated as an interdependent functional unit. A focused patient history and physical examination including multiple provocative tests should be performed alongside advanced imaging studies to obtain an accurate diagnosis. Nonoperative treatment modalities including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, glucocorticoid injections, and a standardized physical therapy regimen should be exhausted before operative intervention. Significant improvements in pain, functional outcomes, and quality of life are achieved in patients treated nonoperatively. Although these outcomes are less consistent for overhead athletes, return to play and performance metrics seem comparable to those who undergo surgery.
