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

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Arthroscopic 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.

Methods

Thirteen 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.

Results

The 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.

Conclusion

This technique can be safely performed in the elderly patient with irreparable rotator cuff tears and pain refractory to conservative measures.

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.

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.

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.

Partial Articular Supraspinatus Tendon Avulsion Repair and Patch: A Technical Note for Augmenting the Supraspinatus Reinsertion with the Long Head of the Biceps Tendon.

Project description:BackgroundThere is no clear consensus on the treatment of partial articular-sided supraspinatus tendon avulsions. Debridement alone might not be sufficient to prevent further tendon degradation or alleviate patient complaints. Direct repair using a suture anchor without treating the concomitant conditions of the long head of the biceps tendon might come with residual anterior shoulder pain or even further loss of function in cases of failed repair. The purpose of the present study is to describe an arthroscopic technique by which the long head of the biceps tendon can be included in the partial articular-sided supraspinatus tendon avulsion repair.Technique presentation with videoIn this technical note we describe the arthroscopic repair and augmentation with tenotomized biceps of partial supraspinatus tendon tears to address three main concepts for successful rotator cuff repairs, namely rotator cuff biologic augmentation, tendon to bone healing and postoperative pain prevention.ConclusionThe biceps tendon is a mechanically robust, locally available autograft that can be used in borderline partial articular-sided supraspinatus tendon avulsions in order to biologically augment healing at the tendon-bone interface without any immunogenic reactions or morbidity following harvesting.

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.

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.

Intra-articular dexmedetomidine in knee arthroscopy: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Project description:The aim of this meta-analysis is to evaluate the analgesic effects of intra-articular dexmedetomidine (DEX) in arthroscopic knee surgery. A comprehensive literature search was conducted to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing intra-articular DEX versus control for postoperative analgesia in knee arthroscopy. Trial sequential analysis (TSA) was applied to determine the reliability of the evidence. Twelve RCTs including 594 patients met the eligibility criteria. DEX treatment significantly improved postoperative pain outcomes, with weighted mean differences (95% confidence interval) between the DEX and control groups of -1.57 (-1.94 to -1.20, P?<?0.00001) for pain scores at rest at postoperative 1?h, -8.54?mg (-11.96 to -5.13, P?<?0.00001) for morphine-equivalents at postoperative 0-24?h, and 257.57?min (209.86 to 305.28, P?<?0.00001) for time to first request for postoperative analgesia. TSA indicated there is sufficient evidence for these outcomes. Intra-articular DEX did not affect the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting, hypotension, bradycardia, or somnolence. This meta-analysis demonstrated that intra-articular administration of DEX improved pain outcomes in the early postoperative period after knee arthroscopy. Due to the limited number of trials and patients included in this meta-analysis, more evidence is required to confirm these findings.

Identifying Intra-Articular Pathology With Arthroscopy Prior to Open Ankle Fracture Fixation.

Project description:PurposeTo assess the prevalence of intra-articular findings with ankle arthroscopy in patients undergoing operative fixation for ankle fractures.MethodsThis is a retrospective review of ankle fractures that were treated with arthroscopy and open reduction and internal fixation by a single surgeon. Between August 2016 and July 2018, operative reports, office notes, and images were reviewed to identify intra-articular pathology and fracture type. An analysis was performed with regard to fracture type, presence and location of osteochondral lesions, loose-bodies, syndesmotic injury, and deltoid injury.ResultsFifty-seven ankle fractures were identified that met inclusion criteria. In total, 84.2% of the fractures had intra-articular pathology, most commonly a syndesmotic injury followed by presence of intra-articular loose bodies and osteochondral defects.ConclusionsIn our study, use of arthroscopy before open ankle fracture fixation identified intra-articular pathology in 84.2% of subjects. The most common pathology was syndesmotic injury. The addition of an arthroscopic assessment in patients with operatively treated ankle fractures may help improve treatment provided to patients during ankle fracture surgery.Level of evidenceLevel 4 Therapeutic Case Series.

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.
