Gross Anatomy of Skeletal Muscles

Gross Anatomy of Skeletal Muscles

The connective tissues play a significant role in arranging the muscle fibers into a hierarchical structure that forms a complete muscle. Consider a muscle like the bicep brachii, commonly called the bicep. This muscle comprises thousands of muscle fibers enclosed by a protective layer of connective tissue called the endomysium. The endomysium is primarily composed of reticular fibers, a type of thin collagen fiber. It allows the exchange of nutrients and waste products at the fiber level,...

Area of Science:

Orthopedic Surgery
Arthroscopy
Shoulder Surgery

Background:

The long head of the biceps tendon is a common source of shoulder pain.
Biceps tenodesis is a surgical procedure to relieve this pain.
Existing techniques can be complex or costly.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe a simple, all soft tissue arthroscopic technique for long head of the biceps tenodesis.
To evaluate the safety, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness of this novel technique.

Main Methods:

Arthroscopic procedure using posterior and anterior portals.
Utilizes a PDS suture to facilitate braided suture passage.
Tenodesis fixation of the biceps tendon to the subscapularis tendon.

Main Results:

The described technique is simple to perform.
It is a safe and efficient method for biceps tenodesis.
The technique is less costly compared to other available methods.

Conclusions:

This all soft tissue arthroscopic technique offers a viable option for biceps tenodesis.
The method is safe, efficient, and cost-effective.
It simplifies the surgical management of long head of the biceps tendon pathology.
