Intraoperative Estimation of the Popeye Sign by Electrical Stimulation of the Musculocutaneous Nerve Following Shoulder Biceps Tenotomy.

ABSTRACT: Younger patients in particular may require biceps tenodesis following tenotomy to avoid the development of a biceps "Popeye deformity." It is, however, difficult to predict whether a tenodesis is cosmetically necessary, since this deformity develops to a very variable degree, as the biceps muscle will retract in the postoperative course to an unknown amount with active contraction. Through the intraoperative electrical stimulation of the musculocutaneous nerve, the maximal contraction of the muscle can intraoperatively be provoked and thus the amount of Popeye deformity becomes apparent. We conclude that this method could be useful for intraoperative decision making if biceps tenodesis is needed and helps to avoid this surgical step and its associated risks, which otherwise often is performed unnecessarily, just in case.

Wide-Awake Shoulder Nanoscopic Long Head of Biceps Tenotomy.

Project description:Arthroscopic long head of biceps tenotomy is an established technique for addressing shoulder pain associated with long head of biceps pathology. Arthroscopic techniques, compared with open surgery, have demonstrated improvements in outcomes for patients including rapid recovery, but either regional or general anesthesia is required, which is associated with complications. We describe a novel technique using a Nanoscope needle arthroscopy system that allows for long head of biceps tenotomy to be performed under local anesthetic in the outpatient or office setting.

The "anchor shape" technique for long head of the biceps tenotomy to avoid the popeye deformity.

Project description:Surgical options for symptomatic pathologies of the long head of the biceps (LHB) include tenotomy and tenodesis. Tenotomy is surgically simple and quick, does not require immobilization, and avoids implant complications. However, it is associated with residual "Popeye" muscle deformity and biceps muscle cramps. Tenodesis avoids Popeye deformity, but it is technically a more difficult operation with a longer rehabilitation period and possible implant complications. The purpose of this report is to describe a novel technique for LHB tenotomy that avoids the Popeye muscle deformity. Before releasing the LHB from its anchor over the superior labrum, this technique consists of making an oblique incision, involving 50% of the tendon, distal to its attachment at the superior labrum. A second standard complete tenotomy incision is made about 1.5 cm medial to the oblique incision. The remaining stump of the LHB at the tendon-labrum junction is resected. The first incision, an oblique incomplete incision, allows the remnant of the LHB to open up and form an "anchor shape" that anchors the LHB at the articular entrance of the bicipital groove, thus decreasing the risk of Popeye deformity.

Biceps Squeeze Tenotomy: Technique to Improve Efficiency of Arthroscopic Biceps Tenotomy.

Project description:Biceps tenotomy is a common procedure performed in arthroscopic shoulder surgery. Numerous studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of both biceps tenotomy and tenodesis to relieve pain and restore function for the diagnoses of bicipital tenosynovitis, SLAP tears, rotator interval pulley lesions, and failed SLAP repairs. It is also frequently performed as a concomitant procedure with arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. We report a technique to improve the efficiency of arthroscopic bicep tenotomy using a biceps squeeze maneuver. This is a simple method of manually squeezing the biceps muscle belly while performing the arthroscopic biceps tenotomy. This shortens and tensions the intra-articular portion of the tendon to facilitate a more safe and efficient procedure.

Loop biceps tenotomy: an arthroscopic technique for long head of biceps tenotomy.

Project description:The long head of the biceps tendon is frequently involved in shoulder pathologies, often in relation to inflammatory or degenerative damage to the rotator cuff. Biceps tenodesis in the bicipital groove and tenotomy are the main treatment options. Tenotomy of the long head of the biceps tendon is a simpler and quicker procedure than tenodesis, and it does not require the use of implants. However, retraction of the biceps tendon, leading to Popeye deformity, and biceps muscle cramps are common complications after tenotomy. Therefore we propose an arthroscopic technique for tenotomy that limits the risk of Popeye deformity. This procedure consists of creating a loop at the severed end of the biceps tendon, which prevents the tendon from retracting into the bicipital groove.

Comparison of changes in shoulder functions between biceps tenotomy and tenodesis in an animal model.

Project description:ObjectivesTenotomy and tenodesis of the long head of biceps tendon are effective pain-relieving treatments. However, there is no consensus on the functional outcome after these surgical procedures. We hypothesized that there would be no difference in ambulation parameters after recovery from the surgery between rats that underwent tenotomy versus tenodesis procedures.MethodsTwenty-four New Zealand rats were used and randomly divided into three groups. Each group received one of the following surgeries: tenotomy, tenodesis, and sham operation. A video-based walking track system was applied for gait analysis at day -1, 1, 3, 5, 7, 14 and 21 for each rat. Temporal and spatial parameters were obtained, and asymmetric index was calculated for each parameter.ResultsCompared to the tenotomy and sham-operated groups, the rats in the tenodesis group had shorter stance phase, longer swing time, longer step length, smaller paw length, smaller intermediary toe-spread length, smaller toe-spread length, and larger foot angle right after the tenodesis procedure. After day 14, all parameters were equivalent to those of the sham-operated group. At the end of the study, there were no functional changes found in tenotomy and tenodesis groups compared with the sham-operated group and preoperative status.ConclusionTransient functional alterations in temporal and spatial parameters are found after tenotomy and tenodesis in a rat model. The functional changes in the tenodesis group existed for a longer period than in tenotomy group; however, and all parameters showed no significant differences when compared with the sham group at the conclusion of the study.

Biceps tenodesis versus biceps tenotomy for biceps tendinitis without rotator cuff tears.

Project description:Disorders of the long head of the biceps tendon (LHB) are a well-recognised cause of shoulder pain despite the function of the long head of the biceps remaining poorly understood. There has been a dramatic rise in the number of biceps tenodesis procedures being performed in the last decade. This may partly be attributed to concerns regarding residual cosmetic deformity and pain after biceps tenotomy though there is little evidence to suggest that functional outcomes of tenodesis are superior to biceps tenotomy. Current literature focuses on LHB disorders with concomitant rotator cuff tears. The aim of this review is to discuss the anatomy of the LHB, the pathogenesis of tendinopathy of the LHB, indications of biceps tenodesis and tenotomy and compare the current literature on the functional outcomes of these procedures for LHB disorders in the absence of rotator cuff tears.

The Saber Technique for Biceps Tenotomy.

Project description:Long head of the biceps (LHB) pathology is a prevalent cause of shoulder pain. Arthroscopic tenotomy and tenodesis are performed for treatment at increasing frequency. When LHB pathology is the only glenohumeral intra-articular pathology that needs to be addressed, and an LHB tenotomy or subpectoral LHB tenodesis is planned, it is unnecessary and potentially harmful to establish an anterior rotator interval portal. The objective of this Technical Note is to describe a minimally invasive technique for LHB tenotomy at the supraglenoid tubercle without the need for establishing an accessory portal.

Antero-inferior paralabral cyst of the shoulder: An atypical cause of rapidly evolving axillary and musculocutaneous nerve palsy.

Project description:Paralabral cysts of the shoulder are a rare cause of shoulder pain. Their association with neurological symptoms is uncommon. This case report presents an antero-inferior paralabral cyst in a painful atraumatic shoulder causing axillary and musculocutaneous nerve palsy. The patient in the present study showed a rapidly worsening active shoulder function with dull pain in the posterior shoulder and hypoesthesia over the deltoid. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed an antero-inferior paralabral cyst. Electromyography showed a profuse denervation of the deltoid, teres minor and biceps brachii muscles. The patient was diagnosed with a axillary and musculocutaneous nerve compression neuropathy caused by the cyst. Shoulder arthroscopy was performed with the goal of decompressing the cyst and explore the terminal branches of the brachial plexus. During surgery a partial labral tear was detected and anatomically repaired after cyst resection. Exploration of the terminal roots of the plexus brachialis showed the presence of dense fibrotic tissue that was released. Shoulder function recovered completely after surgery. Paralabral cysts are rare and surgical management consists of cyst removal and labral repair. In presence of neurological symptoms exploring the retrocoracoid plexus may be a useful option to check for fibrosis around the nerves that could limit or slow down nerve recovery.

In-Office Biceps Tenotomy with Needle Arthroscopy: A Feasibility Study.

Project description:Isolated pathology of the long head of the biceps is an indication for biceps tenotomy. To date, needle arthroscopy allows a direct diagnosis of shoulder lesion. We aimed to evaluate the technical feasibility of an in-office biceps isolated tenotomy by needle arthroscopy. Advantages were found in the fast-track process and the high rate of satisfaction in our selected patients. It was also a way to correct the diagnosis of torn biceps missed by the imaging. However, performing this procedure requires previous experience in conventional arthroscopy and should not be performed on anxious patients. Further studies will be necessary to confirm the reproducibility of this promising method, which could be a valuable alternative to heavy in-operating room process.
