Purpose: To compare the biomechanical properties of high-tensile strength tape and a high-tensile strength suture in subpectoral biceps tenodesis using a suture anchor in a porcine tendon model. Methods: A total of 24 artificial composite (polymer and glass fiber) humeri and porcine flexor profundus...
