Arthroscopic Suprapectoral Biceps Tenodesis: A Knotless, Onlay, All-Suture Anchor Technique.

ABSTRACT: Anterior shoulder pain is a common complaint often caused by pathology of the long head of the biceps such as biceps tendinitis, partial biceps tears, biceps instability, and SLAP lesions. Surgical treatment of biceps pathology includes tenotomy versus tenodesis, with tenodesis being favored in young, active patients owing to less cramping pain and superior outcomes in terms of shoulder function and cosmesis. Various surgical techniques for tenodesis of the long head of the biceps exist, with varying indications. Subpectoral biceps tenodesis is primarily indicated for zone 2 to 3 tendon pathology and revision biceps tenodesis. Secondary indications include overhead athletes, chronic biceps tendinopathy, and rotator cuff repair. Proximal arthroscopic biceps tenodesis performed "high in the
