Background:

Arthroscopic biceps tenodesis with suture anchors is a viable treatment for symptomatic biceps pathologies and associated rotator cuff tears.
Existing techniques may have limitations in tendon manipulation or require additional surgical steps.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce and describe a novel arthroscopic biceps tenodesis technique, the loop-suture technique.
To evaluate the potential benefits of this technique in improving biceps function and tendon integrity.

Main Methods:

The loop-suture technique involves constructing the tenodesis with one loop strand and one sutured strand.
This procedure is performed arthroscopically using conventional devices and existing portals for rotator cuff repair.

A Novel Arthroscopic Medial Knot-Tying Suture-Bridge Repair with Rip-Stop Technique for Rotator Cuff Tears

Published on: January 13, 2026

No additional portals or separate incisions are required for the tenodesis.

Main Results:

The loop-suture technique aims to enhance biceps grip strength.
This method is designed to minimize longitudinal splitting of the biceps tendon.
The technique is described as relatively simple to perform.

Conclusions:

The loop-suture technique represents a straightforward and effective arthroscopic approach for biceps tenodesis.
It offers potential advantages in improving patient outcomes for biceps pathologies, particularly when combined with rotator cuff repair.
The technique's simplicity and use of standard equipment make it accessible in routine arthroscopic shoulder surgery.
