This was greater than the rate in their comparative open biceps tenodesis cohort of 39 patients (5.2%), but this finding did not reach statistical significance. 42 Other investigators have reported much lower incidences of persistent cosmetic deformity after arthroscopic tenodesis (<5%), with some reporting no instances of cosmetic deformity postoperatively. 12 , 43 , 46 Although the average biceps apex distance between the operative and nonoperative sides did not differ in our analysis, a noticeable Popeye deformity developed postoperatively in 5 patients (10.0%).
