Project description:There are many methods for long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT) tenodesis, but a consensus on a superior method has yet to be met. In this article, we introduce a method for arthroscopic suprapectoral biceps tenodesis using a tenodesis screw in the bicipital tunnel. The intra-articular portion of the biceps tendon is transected. The subdeltoid space is then viewed via a lateral portal, and the tendon is mobilized from the bicipital tunnel. The tendon is retrieved through the anterior portal, and 5 whipstitch passes and a second distal stitch are placed. Three of the suture tails are passed through the tenodesis screwdriver, and the tendon is maneuvered to the previously reamed bone socket located 1.5 cm superior to the pec tendon, just inferior to the bicipital groove. Once the tenodesis screw is fixated in sufficient bone stock, 5 alternating half hitches reinforce the construct by creating a closed loop through the screw. This described technique allows full visualization of the LHBT dissection and tenodesis throughout the procedure. Additionally, this technique provides a method to incorporate whipstitching with an arthroscopic tenodesis screw to provide additional strength to tendon fixation.

Project description:Biceps tenodesis is a common treatment for pathology of the long head of the biceps tendon. Several authors have described various arthroscopic and open techniques for biceps tenodesis. Open techniques have been associated with complications such as wound infection and nerve injury. Previously described arthroscopic techniques have placed the tenodesis site within the bicipital groove, which may lead to persistent pain. We describe an all-arthroscopic suprapectoral biceps tenodesis technique that places the tenodesis site distal to the bicipital groove. This technique potentially avoids the complications associated with open tenodesis surgery while still removing the biceps tendon from the bicipital groove.

Project description:Biceps tenodesis is a well-accepted surgical treatment to relieve pain and dysfunction about the shoulder. Multiple locations and methods of tenodesis have been described, with similar outcomes. Transosseous cuff repairs and tendon repairs have been used for decades as a tried and true fixation method. This technique describes an arthroscopic transosseous technique for biceps tenodesis in the suprapectoral location that is technically simple, fast, eliminates the cost of implants, avoids an incision in the axillae which may be prone to dehiscence or infection, and releases the biceps sheath, which may be related to pain generation. Moreover, the biceps length tension relationship is easily recapitulated using anatomical landmarks.

Project description:The long head of the biceps (LHB) tendon is a common cause of shoulder pain. Biceps tenodesis is commonly used to address biceps and superior labrum pathology, reducing pain and restoring function. There are numerous techniques for biceps tenodesis, and it is unclear as to which single technique and approach provides significantly superior outcomes. In this technical note, we present an arthroscopic suprapectoral approach with release of the LHB from the bicipital groove and subsequent fixation with suture anchor. This technique simplifies the technique to be performed from standard arthroscopic portals and aims to maximize outcomes and minimize common complications associated with biceps tenodesis.

Project description:Biceps tenodesis remains a popular choice for treating anterior shoulder pain in the setting of primary biceps tendinitis or biceps pain due to concomitant glenohumeral joint pathology. A variety of surgical approaches and fixation construct options are available for biceps tenodesis. The advantages of an all-arthroscopic biceps tenodesis include anatomic maintenance of the length-tension relation with strength preservation and improved cosmetic results. This technique can be technically challenging but allows for a minimally invasive approach to anchor the biceps. In this Technical Note, we describe a suprapectoral biceps tenodesis using an all-arthroscopic approach in the setting of concomitant rotator cuff repair. This technique offers a viable alternative to the open subpectoral biceps tenodesis.

Project description:Abstract Biceps tendinopathy and superior labrum anterior posterior lesions are a common source of shoulder pain and disability and can be effectively treated with biceps tenodesis. There are a variety of open and arthroscopic tenodesis techniques, but no one technique has demonstrated superiority. Arthroscopic techniques often disregard the extra-articular portions of the biceps tendon as a potential source of pain. Open techniques address this concern; however, they can be associated with wound complications, increased blood loss, nerve injury, and disruptions to surgical workflow. Here, we describe an all arthroscopic tenodesis technique at the suprapectoral zone of the tendon. This method addresses extra-articular sources of pain, while limiting the potential pitfalls of open surgery. Technique Video Video 1 Narrated technique video. Standard posterior, anterior, lateral, and low anterior portals are used during the technique. Viewing from the posterior portal in a right shoulder the biceps anchor is debrided to a stable base. A BirdBeak device is inserted through the standard anterior portal and pierces the biceps tendon as laterally as possible, and an 18-gauge spinal needle is used to tease the suture from the BirdBeak device. After a standard subacromial decompression is performed the camera is inserted into the standard lateral portal, and an anterior subdeltoid bursectomy is performed to provide adequate visualization of the tenodesis site. An accessory low anterior portal is created about 1.5 cm proximal to the pectoralis major tendon insertion. The pectoralis major insertion site is used to aid in localization of the tendon just proximal to the subdeltoid portion of the tendon. An 11-blade is inserted through the low anterior portal and used to incise the transverse humeral ligament; the biceps tendon will often bulge from beneath the ligament at this step, confirming appropriate position. The bicep tendon is retracted with the probe, and a noncannulated 8-mm reamer is inserted into the low anterior portal and used to produce a unicortical tunnel. The tunnel’s edges are debrided using an arthroscopic shaver and the arthroscopic electrocautery device; the inferior portion of the tunnel must be smooth to prevent fraying of the tendon. The biceps tendon is then tensioned appropriately via tension pulled through the previously placed suture. A fork-tipped interference screw is then introduced through the low anterior portal to introduce the biceps tendon into the tenodesis site. The interference screw is then inserted and left 1 mm proud. The residual proximal bicep tendon is then amputated using an arthroscopic biter and removed through the lateral portal. The finished tenodesis site is probed and inspected, and a standard postoperative protocol is used.

Project description:Existing arthroscopic techniques of proximal biceps tenodesis may be complicated by difficulty of tendon identification, restoration of length-tension relation, cosmetic deformity, persistent biceps pain, and shoulder stiffness requiring surgical revision in a relevant proportion of cases. In this context, biceps tenoscopy, an emerging discipline of shoulder endoscopy, offers major benefits. Tenoscopy comprises endoscopic treatment of tendons and tendon sheaths. The presented technique of tenoscopic suprapectoral biceps tenodesis (TSBT) substantially facilitates tendon identification and reduces invasiveness by avoidance of unnecessary surgical involvement of the deltoid space and bursa. TSBT enables effective treatment of the biceps tendon and surrounding tissues (biceps tendon sheath, tenosynovium, transverse humeral ligament) being consistently involved in proximal biceps pathologies. The physiological length-tension relation of the musculotendinous unit is reliably maintained. Technically, the procedure of tenodesis is simplified and accelerated by redundancy of tendon exteriorization. The aforementioned benefits of TSBT may lead to superior clinical and cosmetic outcomes and lower incidences of persistent proximal biceps pain and postoperative shoulder stiffness compared with conventional techniques of arthroscopic biceps tenodesis.

Project description:Biceps tenodesis is an accepted treatment option for various pathologies of the long head of the biceps tendon and labrum. Many techniques have been published, both arthroscopic and open, that utilize various fixation techniques and locations of the tenodesis, yet none has been proven to be superior. We introduce a novel method, the SALSA (subacromial locking stitch anchor), an all-arthroscopic suprapectoral biceps tenodesis utilizing a running locking stitch from a double-loaded biocomposite anchor. This technique provides a reliable method of multipoint fixation including the transverse humeral ligament that avoids many of the potential complications encountered with other techniques.

Project description:The long head of the biceps is a frequent pain generator in the shoulder. Tendinopathy of the long head of the biceps may be treated with biceps tenodesis. There has been great debate about the optimal technique for biceps tenodesis, without a clear distinction between different techniques. Biceps tenodesis fixation may include interference fixation, suspensory fixation, all-suture anchors, and soft tissue fixation. In this technical note, we describe an all-arthroscopic onlay suprapectoral biceps tenodesis with an all-suture anchor.

Project description:Tenodesis is an accepted treatment option in the management of pathology involving the long head of the biceps (LHB). Among the common causes for revision surgery after tenodesis are residual pain within the bicipital groove, cramping, early biceps fatigue, and biceps deformity. Most technical descriptions of arthroscopic biceps tenodesis involve fixation of the LHB tendon within or proximal to the intertubercular sulcus and thus fail to address the described sources of pain within this proximal anatomic location. Suprapectoral tenodesis offers the surgeon the ability to remove the LHB from within the bicipital groove by fixating the biceps more distally. Cramping, early fatigue, and biceps deformity have been described when the appropriate length-tension relation of the biceps tendon has not been restored after LHB tenodesis. Our described procedure allows for a more consistent restoration of the anatomic length-tension relation of the LHB, therefore reducing the symptoms associated with this variable. This all-arthroscopic, suprapectoral biceps tenodesis with interference fixation addresses the most common causes for revision surgery and offers a comprehensive solution for LHB pathology.
