This study introduces a novel arthroscopic technique for biceps tenodesis, using a bone anchor as a pulley for tendon positioning before interference screw fixation. This method offers a new option for treating long head of biceps tendon pathology.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Arthroscopy

Background:

  • Symptomatic pathology of the long head of the biceps tendon often requires surgical intervention, typically biceps tenotomy or tenodesis.
  • Open tenodesis techniques are well-established, particularly for younger patients.
  • Advancements in arthroscopy have led to the development of new arthroscopic approaches for biceps tenodesis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a modified arthroscopic technique for biceps tenodesis.
  • To describe a novel method utilizing a bone anchor as a pulley and interference screw fixation.
  • To highlight the potential utility of this technique in conjunction with other arthroscopic shoulder procedures.

Main Methods:

  • A modified arthroscopic biceps tenodesis technique is described.

  • A bone anchor is employed as a pulley to facilitate tendon placement within the prepared tunnel.
  • Fixation is achieved using an interference screw.

    • Main Results:

    • The described technique offers a novel approach to arthroscopic biceps tenodesis.
    • This method integrates a unique pulley system for improved tendon manipulation.
    • The technique has not been previously documented in existing literature.

    Conclusions:

    • The presented modified arthroscopic biceps tenodesis technique provides a potentially valuable surgical option.
    • This approach may enhance procedural efficiency and outcomes when combined with other arthroscopic shoulder surgeries.
    • Further investigation and clinical evaluation are warranted to establish the efficacy of this technique.
