All-Arthroscopic Falciform Portal Biceps Tenodesis.

ABSTRACT: Biceps tenodesis has been proven to be an effective treatment for biceps tendon and superior labral pathology. Many techniques including both open and arthroscopic approaches have been reported. Open techniques afford management of the entire proximal biceps tendon but are limited by wound healing issues, increased bleeding, and increased surgical time. Arthroscopic tenodesis offers benefits in terms of surgical efficiency, cosmesis, and bleeding risk. However, standard arthroscopic tenodesis only addresses intra-articular biceps pathology. In this report we describe an all-arthroscopic biceps tenodesis technique at the suprapectoral region of the humerus using knotless suture anchor fixation.
