Arthroscopic biceps tenodesis is a surgical option for severe biceps tendon issues. This technique re-establishes muscle length, improves elbow function, and avoids cosmetic deformities.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Anatomy

Background:

  • Biceps tendon pathology, including tendonopathy and tears, often requires surgical intervention.
  • Arthroscopic biceps tenodesis is a debated alternative to tenotomy for managing these conditions.
  • Associated rotator cuff tears frequently complicate biceps tendon pathology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To advocate for arthroscopic biceps tenodesis over tenotomy.
  • To detail a specific arthroscopic tenodesis technique.
  • To highlight the benefits of tenodesis in managing biceps tendon disorders.

Main Methods:

  • Description of an arthroscopic biceps tenodesis technique.
  • Utilization of the Arthrex biotenodesis system.
  • Inclusion of detailed illustrations and procedural steps.

Related Experiment Videos

Main Results:

  • The described technique facilitates arthroscopic biceps tenodesis.
  • Tenodesis aims to restore resting muscle length.
  • The procedure is designed to prevent scarring, spasm, and cosmetic defects.

Conclusions:

  • Arthroscopic biceps tenodesis is recommended for severe biceps tendon pathology.
  • Tenodesis offers advantages over tenotomy, including functional and cosmetic benefits.
  • This technical note provides a reproducible method for performing arthroscopic biceps tenodesis.
