Summary
This study presents a mini-open biceps tenodesis technique for shoulder pain. The all-suture knotless anchor method provides consistent tension and reduces complication risks.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Sports Medicine
- Shoulder Arthroscopy
Background:
- The long head of the biceps tendon is a frequent source of anterior shoulder pain.
- This pathology often coexists with subacromial impingement, rotator cuff tears, and labral tears.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe a reproducible mini-open onlay biceps tenodesis technique.
- To highlight the benefits of using all-suture knotless anchor fixation.
Main Methods:
- A mini-open onlay biceps tenodesis procedure was performed.
- Fixation was achieved using an all-suture knotless anchor system.
Main Results:
- The described technique is easily reproducible and efficient.
- It ensures a consistent length-tension relation for the biceps tendon.
- The method mitigates risks of peri-implant reaction and fracture without compromising fixation strength.
Conclusions:
- This all-suture knotless anchor technique offers a safe and effective solution for biceps tenodesis.
- It addresses common shoulder pain generators associated with biceps tendon pathology.
