Suprapectoral biceps tenodesis achieves better short clinical outcomes than labral repair for type V SLAP lesions in active-duty military patients with shoulder instability after Bankart repair.
Article in BMC surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeTo compare the outcomes of arthroscopic Bankart repair combined with arthroscopic SLAP repair and arthroscopic Bankart repair combined with Suprapectoral biceps tenodesis in active-duty military individuals with type V SLAP lesions.
methodsFrom June 2015 to April 2022, we treated a total of 243 patients with shoulder joint instability. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 70 patients with type V SLAP lesions who underwent Bankart repair surgery simultaneously with arthroscopic SLAP repair or combined with biceps tenodesis and who were followed up for at least 2 years were included in the study. The clinical data of 38 patients who underwent Bankart repair combined with arthroscopic SLAP repair (repair group) were compared with those of 32 patients who underwent arthroscopic Bankart repair combined with Suprapectoral biceps tenodesis (tenodesis group). The findings of the preoperative and postoperative clinical assessments, physical examination, injury mechanism assessment, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination were reviewed. Patient-reported disabilities of the arm, shoulder, and hand (DASH) scores, Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (WOSI) scores, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) scores, and visual analog scale (VAS) scores for pain and satisfaction were evaluated.
resultsThere was no significant difference between the groups in terms of preoperative range of motion or outcome evaluations. At the last follow-up, both groups demonstrated improvements in DASH, ASES, WOSI, and VAS scores compared to preoperative assessments. the tenodesis group demonstrated a potential trend toward clinically meaningful improvement in both WOSI and DASH scores compared to the repair group. There was no significant difference in shoulder joint mobility, ASES score, or VAS score between the two groups.
conclusionBoth arthroscopic Bankart repair combined with Suprapectoral biceps tenodesis and arthroscopic Bankart repair combined with SLAP repair can effectively treat type V SLAP lesions in military individuals, both postoperative clinical outcomes and pain scores demonstrated improvement. Our research results indicated that bicipital tenodesis combined with anterior labral repair might serve as an effective alternative to arthroscopic type V SLAP repair in active-duty military patients with type V lesions. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III.
