A Prospective Intra‑Individual Comparison After Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair  \nCan Özcan  Necip Güven  Sehmuz Kaya   \nCan Özcan, e-mail: [drcanozcan@gmail.com](drcanozcan@gmail.com)  \nNone declared  \nNone declared  \n1 Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, Bursa Orhaneli State Hospital, Bursa, Türkiye  \n2 Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, Faculty of Medicine, Van Yüzüncü Yıl University, Van, Türkiye  \nBackground: Pathology of the long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT) frequently accompanies rotator cuff tears. Whether concurrent LHBT tenotomy during arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (RCR) adversely affects postoperative shoulder proprioception or upper-limb strength remains uncertain; intra-individual evidence is limited.  \nMaterial/Methods: A prospective intra-individual comparison was conducted at a single center between May 2018 and December  \n2021. Consecutive adults who underwent arthroscopic RCR with LHBT tenotomy were evaluated at a postoperative visit. Standardized assessments were performed by a single team. Primary outcomes included shoulder joint-position sense, measured by active position reproduction at predefined targets, and maximum isometric strength, measured with a handheld dynamometer. Statistical analysis included normality testing, paired tests, effect sizes, and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) with Holm adjustment.  \nResults: Seventy-seven patients were analyzed (mean age 58.1 years; 73% women; 69% right side). Side-to-side differences were small. Representative metrics included elbow flexion D=-0.56 (95% CI, -1.05 to-0.06; P=0.028) and shoulder flexion D=-0.87 (95% CI, -1.41 to-0.33; P=0.002). Absolute proprioception error at 30° rotation was modestly lower on the operated side (D=-2.00°; 95% CI, -3.68° to-0.32°; P=0.020). Other targets showed no clinically meaningful differences. Effect sizes were small.  \nConclusions: In patients with clinical indications for tenotomy, concurrent LHBT tenotomy during arthroscopic RCR was unrelated to measurable deficits in shoulder proprioception or upper-limb strength. These findings support clinical acceptability of tenotomy when indicated. Comparative studies are warranted to refine patient selection.  \nKeywords: Muscle Strength • Proprioception • Rotator Cuff • Shoulder  \nFull-text PDF: [https://www.medscimonit.com/abstract/index/idArt/950383](https://www.medscimonit.com/abstract/index/idArt/950383)  \n3492  4  5  19  \nPublisher’s note: All claims expressed in this article are solely those of the authors and do not necessarily represent those of their affiliated organizations, or those of the publisher, the editors and the reviewers.
