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

ABSTRACT: 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.

Long head of the biceps intra-articular tenotomy using needle arthroscopy under local anesthesia: preliminary results and technical note.

Project description:PurposeArthroscopic isolated biceps tenotomy is a procedure successfully performed in patients with degenerative rotator cuff tears which offers good clinical results. With this article, we describe the technique of biceps tenotomy with needle arthroscopy in local anesthesia and the results of first patients treated from 2018.MethodsThirteen patients with irreparable rotator cuff tear treated with arthroscopic needle biceps tenotomy under local anesthesia were included. Constant score and active/passive flexion were recorded preoperatively and at 3 months postoperatively.ResultsThe average age of the patients was 71 ± 7 year old. All the patients were available for the follow-up. The Constant score significantly improved from pre- to postoperatively (44 ± 8.9 to 63.1 ± 14.2, p < 0.05). Active flexion improved from preoperatively 115 ± 24° to 145 ± 31° postoperatively (p < 0.05), while passive flexion did not significantly improve.ConclusionThis technique can be safely performed in the elderly patient with irreparable rotator cuff tears and pain refractory to conservative measures.

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.

Needle Arthroscopy Cheilectomy for Hallux Rigidus in the Office Setting.

Project description:Hallux rigidus is a progressive degenerative process of the first metatarsophalangeal joint characterized by altered joint mechanics and formation of dorsal osteophytes. Cheilectomy is the preferred operative intervention at early stages. Technologic advances, patient preference, and cost considerations combine to stimulate the development of minimally invasive and in-office interventions. This Technical Note highlights our technique for needle arthroscopy cheilectomy for hallux rigidus, which can be used either in the operating room or in the wide-awake office setting.

Office-Based Needle Arthroscopy: A Standardized Diagnostic Approach to the Shoulder.

Project description:In-office needle arthroscopy offers the potential advantage of reduced injury to intervention time, without the need for advanced imaging. It is particularly appropriate for those with contraindications to advanced imaging and also may reduce the risk of incorrect diagnoses in those situations in which imaging is associated with low sensitivity/specificity. The purpose of this article is to provide a standardized diagnostic approach to needle arthroscopy of the shoulder.

Office-Based Needle Arthroscopy: A Standardized Diagnostic Approach to the Knee.

Project description:Surgical knee arthroscopy is among the most commonly performed procedures in the United States. The decision to treat is often based on clinical examination and magnetic resonance imaging. Equivocal results frequently require patients to undergo surgical arthroscopy, exposing the patient to inherent risks and potential surgical complications. Office-based needle arthroscopy provides an alternative approach to visualizing intra-articular anatomy and pathology in real time. The purpose of this article is to provide a standardized diagnostic approach to needle arthroscopy of the knee.

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.

Diagnostic Evaluation of the Knee in the Office Setting Using Small-Bore Needle Arthroscopy.

Project description:Arthroscopy is currently the gold standard for diagnosing intra-articular knee pathology. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be a clinical adjunct for diagnosis; however, it is not without its shortcomings. Although highly accurate, even advanced imaging misdiagnoses the condition in 1 in 14 patients with regard to anterior cruciate ligament pathology. Previous studies have indicated that MRI fails to identify meniscal pathology when one exists in 1 of every 10 cases, and diagnoses pathology when pathology truly does not exist in 1 of every 5 patients. In-office arthroscopy offers an alternative to formal diagnostic arthroscopy, with reduced cost and risk of complications. This is a technique article that discusses the use of small-bore needle arthroscopy in the office setting.

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.
