Abstrakt:	Introduction: The long head of biceps tendon is a common source of anterior shoulder pain and impaired function. Multiple surgical procedures are available as treatment options, but the optimal procedure is not known. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to review the literature to assess the clinical effectiveness of various surgical procedures to treat pain arising from the long head of biceps. Methods: The study protocol was designed and registered prospectively on PROSPERO (International prospective register for systematic reviews). Electronic databases used for the literature search will include MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, and The Cochrane Library. Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating surgical procedures on the long head of biceps will be included. Our primary outcome is any functional patient-reported outcome measure related to the shoulder. Secondary outcomes will include the rate of 'Popeye' deformity, the rate of biceps cramping pain, the rate of complications, objective measurements of strength testing such as dynamometer, and other patient-reported outcome measures not specific to the shoulder such as the Visual-Analog Scale (VAS) for pain. Methodological quality of included studies will be assessed using The Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool 2.0 and the Jadad score. Inconsistency and bias across included studies will be assessed statistically. Comparable outcome data will be pooled and analysed quantitatively or qualitatively as appropriate. Ethics and Dissemination: No ethical clearances required for this study. We plan to publish this systematic review and meta-analysis in a peer-reviewed journal. It will also be presented at various national and international conferences. Highlights: Evaluating the clinical effectiveness of surgical procedures for long head of biceps pathology.Randomised controlled trials.Biceps tenodesis and biceps tenotomy.Systematic review compliant with the PRISMA guideline. Competing Interests: The authors have no competing interests to declare. (Copyright: © 2021 The Author(s).)
