The "Double Lasso-Loop" Technique Used for Arthroscopic Proximal Biceps Tenodesis.

ABSTRACT: Disorders of the long head biceps tendon are among the most challenging of shoulder problems to diagnose and manage. In this Technical Note, we introduce an arthroscopic technique for proximal biceps tenodesis high in the groove at the articular margin of the humeral head using a single anchor and 2 self-cinching loops followed by 5 alternating half-hitches to secure the construct. This method is simple and enables stable fixation of the biceps tendon.

A Simple, All-Arthroscopic, Knotless Suture Lasso Loop Technique for Suprapectoral Biceps Tenodesis.

Project description:A variety of pathology of the long head of the biceps tendon can contribute to anterior shoulder pain in adults that can be managed with either arthroscopic tenotomy or tenodesis when conservative treatment fails. Biceps deformity or the Popeye sign is a major concern in patients after tenotomy. Biceps tenodesis can be performed in a variety of ways with different sized anchors and at different locations (suprapectoral or subpectoral). Several studies have shown that patient outcomes and complication rates are similar between all-arthroscopic suprapectoral biceps tenodesis and open subpectoral biceps tenodesis. We describe a simple, knotless, arthroscopic intra-articular biceps tenodesis technique using a 1.5-mm LabralTape lasso loop technique and a 2.9-mm PushLock anchor.

Arthroscopic On-Lay Biceps Tenodesis: The Loop-Lock Technique.

Project description:The biceps tendon is a common pain generator in the shoulder. Long head of the biceps tendon pathology occurs in a variety of different ways. There are several different treatment options available to address the long head of the biceps. With advances in arthroscopy, all-arthroscopic tenodesis is becoming a more popular choice to address biceps tendon pathology. We describe an all-arthroscopic technique, termed "the loop-lock," for performing a biceps tenodesis.

Arthroscopic Tenodesis of the Long Head Biceps Tendon Using a Double Lasso-Loop Suture Anchor Configuration.

Project description:Multiple different techniques exist for performing a biceps tenodesis, and the literature has yet to define a particular technique as superior with respect to outcomes. Factors as the center of various clinical and biomechanical studies include analyzing arthroscopic versus open techniques, optimal fixation sites, and the use specific fixation devices (i.e., anchor, screw). This article details an all-arthroscopic approach for proximal tenodesis of the long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT) using a 2-portal method in a minimally invasive manner. Optimal biomechanical fixation of the LHBT is achieve by using 2 suture anchors in the creation of a dual lasso-loop configuration at the level of the bicipital groove. Technical pearls with respect to optimal arthroscopic viewing, efficient identification of the LHBT and subsequent release from the bicipital groove, and appropriate use of suture anchors for lasso-loop creation are presented for review. Two specific technical advantages of this technique include 2 fixation points for the LHBT to minimize failure risk, and smaller drill holes when compared with commonly performed tenodesis screw techniques to theoretically limit humeral fracture risk.

The 360 Double Lasso Loop for Biceps Tenodesis: Tips and Tricks.

Project description:The management of the intra-articular portion of the long head of the biceps tendon (LHB) is a recurring topic in every discussion about shoulder pain. In massive rotator cuff tears or in tears of the superior third of the subscapularis tendon, our approach is to systematically perform a tenodesis of the LHB. In this Technical Note, we present our arthroscopic technique for LHB tenodesis at the articular margin of the humeral head using a single anchor and a 360 double lasso loop. This technique guaranties a strong and efficient fixation of the biceps tendon and is reproducible when following the steps and tips and tricks outlined herein.

"Relaxed" biceps proximal tenodesis: an arthroscopic technique with decreased residual tendon tension.

Project description:Tenodesis of the long head of the biceps tendon (LHB) at the upper part of the bicipital groove has been related to persistent postoperative bicipital pain. This is possibly due to the inflammation of the remaining tendon within the groove. This, in turn, could be attributed to the continual mechanical stress placed on the tendon in the narrow bicipital groove. Theoretically, should the LHB be more "relaxed," the mechanical stress applied on it would be diminished. On the basis of this rationale, we present an arthroscopic biceps tenodesis technique, according to which the tendon is fixed at the entrance of the bicipital groove, using a bioabsorbable screw, relaxed by 5 mm. In this lax position, the residual LHB tension is expected to be decreased compared with the initial tension, whereas no cosmetic deformity (Popeye sign) or impaired muscular performance is anticipated.

Arthroscopic Suprapectoral Biceps Tenodesis: The "Double Secure Loop Technique" Using an All-Suture Anchor and an Arthroscopic Suture Passer.

Project description:Although the long head of the biceps tendon is known to resist superior movement of the humeral head in the shoulder joint and assist flexion and supination of the elbow joint, its exact function remains unclear. Moreover, the ideal treatment of lesions of the long head of the biceps tendon such as tendinitis, subluxation, dislocation, and partial or complete rupture remains controversial. Various tenodesis methods have been introduced by many authors. This technique-based article aims to discuss tenodesis as an option for biceps tendon fixation.

The Loop 'N' Tack Biceps Tenodesis: An All-Arthroscopic, Intra-Articular Technique.

Project description:Tenodesis and tenotomy of the long head of the biceps are treatment options for a wide range of pathologies without clear superior technique or site of fixation. Clinical outcomes comparing numerous techniques for tenotomy versus tenodesis have resulted in similar pain relief; however, tenotomy may result in a cosmetic "Popeye" deformity and fatigue pain. We present a quick, simple, and knotless technique for tenodesis of the long head of the biceps at the proximal aspect of the bicipital grove that can be completed entirely arthroscopically. This technique uses suture to secure a tenotomized proximal biceps tendon to a knotless anchor just proximal to the subscapularis tendon at the proximal biceps groove. The tensionless repair allows the biceps to scar within the biceps groove, thereby reducing subsidence and formation of a "Popeye" deformity and fatigue pain in the biceps seen with tenotomy alone while eliminating the ability to overtension.

Arthroscopic Biceps Tenodesis by Bicortical Drilling Technique.

Project description:Pain arising from the long head of biceps tendon can cause significant disability of the shoulder. In young and physically demanding patients, biceps tenodesis is advised, in which the biceps tendon is cut from the native origin and fixed distally. Many methods have been proposed for this. This Technical Note describes arthroscopic biceps tenodesis in the bicipital groove by a bicortical drilling technique. The far cortex is breached only once by a guide wire, and the reamers do not breach the far cortex. The tendon is fixed in the new position using a PopLok anchor. This technique is safe and easy to perform but presents a learning curve.

Arthroscopic All-Inside Biceps Tenodesis: Technique and Outcomes.

Project description:The long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT) is a frequent source of disorders and pathology in the shoulder. Significant evidence is available on the management of disorders of the LHBT in the literature, and the LHBT is frequently addressed intraoperatively when involved in shoulder pathology. An all-arthroscopic, intra-articular biceps tenodesis with suture anchor fixation has several advantages that have not been well described previously, and it does not add significant morbidity to arthroscopic surgery to treat the rotator cuff or other sources of pain. Intra-articular LHBT tenodesis in the bicipital groove thus has advantages of less surgical time and a decreased bone footprint.

"Triple-Fix" Arthroscopic Biceps Tenodesis: Indications and Technique.

Project description:Pathology of the long head of the bicep tendon is a common cause of anterior shoulder pain and frequently is treated surgically using either tenodesis or tenotomy. Tenodesis often is the preferred technique for younger, more active patients and laborers, especially when cosmesis and preservation of function are clinical priorities. However, the security of the tenodesis varies with fixation methods and techniques, and failure of the tenodesis can have both cosmetic and symptomatic consequences. Traditional arthroscopic tenodesis also can be technically challenging, as it usually requires extra-articular identification of the bicep tendon within the bicipital groove. The arthroscopic surgical technique described is an approach that has been routinely employed by the senior author for approximately 8 years that allows for accurate and reproducible exposure of the biceps tendon within the bicipital groove along with secure, anatomic tenodesis of the long head of the bicep tendon.
