Arthroscopic Biceps Tenodesis From a Superior Viewing Portal in the Shoulder.


ABSTRACT: The purpose of this report is to describe our modification of the Verma-Trenhaile biceps tenodesis technique using a superior viewing portal that allows placement of the tenodesis site at the top of the pectoralis major tendon with interference screw fixation. The advantages of this technique include the following: (1) There is no need to exteriorize the tendon through the skin. (2) Viewing from superiorly allows a panoramic view of the groove all the way to the pectoralis major tendon insertion. (3) This panoramic view allows a more complete view of the biceps down to the muscle-tendon junction beneath the pectoralis major tendon. (4) The improved visualization permits the drill hole to be contained within the constraints of the groove. Short-term follow-up shows favorable results clinically, and no major complications have been associated with this technique.
