Ultrasound-Guided Suprapectoral Tenodesis of the Long Head of the Biceps Brachii.

ABSTRACT: When the long head of the biceps tendon is diseased, tenodesis is an appropriate treatment strategy. The specific technique used is dependent on visualization, fixation method and hardware, and tenodesis location. For suprapectoral tenodesis techniques, those that fix the tendon within or below the bicipital groove can be challenging owing to the transverse humeral ligament covering the groove. To accurately identify the biceps tendon in this area, the ligament often requires resection. Ultrasound provides surgeons with a safe and noninvasive tool to visualize the biceps tendon as it exits the bicipital groove, negating the need for unroofing and other pitfalls associated with traditional techniques. This technical note describes an ultrasound-guided suprapectoral biceps tenodesis procedure.

Arthroscopic Subpectoral Tenodesis of the Long Head of the Biceps Brachii.

Project description:The long head of the biceps brachii is a common pain generator in the shoulder that is often managed surgically with tenotomy or tenodesis. The clinical outcomes after tenotomy and tenodesis are comparable. However, tenodesis is preferred in the active population owing to complications associated with tenotomy, including cosmetic deformity, early fatigue, and cramping. Controversy surrounds both the approach and location of tenodesis. Both open and arthroscopic techniques have been described. An arthroscopic approach is used for tenodesis within the intertubercular groove between the humeral head articular margin and superior border of the pectoralis major but has the drawback of pathologic tendon retained in the groove. An open approach is generally reserved for subpectoral tenodesis, which has the advantage of no retained pathologic tendon but has the drawbacks of an open approach. We describe an all-arthroscopic technique for subpectoral tenodesis of the long head of the biceps brachii at the lower border of the pectoralis major.

Tenoscopic Suprapectoral Biceps Tenodesis.

Project description:Existing arthroscopic techniques of proximal biceps tenodesis may be complicated by difficulty of tendon identification, restoration of length-tension relation, cosmetic deformity, persistent biceps pain, and shoulder stiffness requiring surgical revision in a relevant proportion of cases. In this context, biceps tenoscopy, an emerging discipline of shoulder endoscopy, offers major benefits. Tenoscopy comprises endoscopic treatment of tendons and tendon sheaths. The presented technique of tenoscopic suprapectoral biceps tenodesis (TSBT) substantially facilitates tendon identification and reduces invasiveness by avoidance of unnecessary surgical involvement of the deltoid space and bursa. TSBT enables effective treatment of the biceps tendon and surrounding tissues (biceps tendon sheath, tenosynovium, transverse humeral ligament) being consistently involved in proximal biceps pathologies. The physiological length-tension relation of the musculotendinous unit is reliably maintained. Technically, the procedure of tenodesis is simplified and accelerated by redundancy of tendon exteriorization. The aforementioned benefits of TSBT may lead to superior clinical and cosmetic outcomes and lower incidences of persistent proximal biceps pain and postoperative shoulder stiffness compared with conventional techniques of arthroscopic biceps tenodesis.

Arthroscopic Suprapectoral Biceps Tenodesis With Tenodesis Screw.

Project description:There are many methods for long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT) tenodesis, but a consensus on a superior method has yet to be met. In this article, we introduce a method for arthroscopic suprapectoral biceps tenodesis using a tenodesis screw in the bicipital tunnel. The intra-articular portion of the biceps tendon is transected. The subdeltoid space is then viewed via a lateral portal, and the tendon is mobilized from the bicipital tunnel. The tendon is retrieved through the anterior portal, and 5 whipstitch passes and a second distal stitch are placed. Three of the suture tails are passed through the tenodesis screwdriver, and the tendon is maneuvered to the previously reamed bone socket located 1.5 cm superior to the pec tendon, just inferior to the bicipital groove. Once the tenodesis screw is fixated in sufficient bone stock, 5 alternating half hitches reinforce the construct by creating a closed loop through the screw. This described technique allows full visualization of the LHBT dissection and tenodesis throughout the procedure. Additionally, this technique provides a method to incorporate whipstitching with an arthroscopic tenodesis screw to provide additional strength to tendon fixation.

Arthroscopic suprapectoral tenodesis of the long head biceps: reproducing an anatomic length-tension relationship.

Project description:Tenodesis is an accepted treatment option in the management of pathology involving the long head of the biceps (LHB). Among the common causes for revision surgery after tenodesis are residual pain within the bicipital groove, cramping, early biceps fatigue, and biceps deformity. Most technical descriptions of arthroscopic biceps tenodesis involve fixation of the LHB tendon within or proximal to the intertubercular sulcus and thus fail to address the described sources of pain within this proximal anatomic location. Suprapectoral tenodesis offers the surgeon the ability to remove the LHB from within the bicipital groove by fixating the biceps more distally. Cramping, early fatigue, and biceps deformity have been described when the appropriate length-tension relation of the biceps tendon has not been restored after LHB tenodesis. Our described procedure allows for a more consistent restoration of the anatomic length-tension relation of the LHB, therefore reducing the symptoms associated with this variable. This all-arthroscopic, suprapectoral biceps tenodesis with interference fixation addresses the most common causes for revision surgery and offers a comprehensive solution for LHB pathology.

All-Arthroscopic Suprapectoral Biceps Tenodesis.

Project description:Biceps tenodesis is a common treatment for pathology of the long head of the biceps tendon. Several authors have described various arthroscopic and open techniques for biceps tenodesis. Open techniques have been associated with complications such as wound infection and nerve injury. Previously described arthroscopic techniques have placed the tenodesis site within the bicipital groove, which may lead to persistent pain. We describe an all-arthroscopic suprapectoral biceps tenodesis technique that places the tenodesis site distal to the bicipital groove. This technique potentially avoids the complications associated with open tenodesis surgery while still removing the biceps tendon from the bicipital groove.

Technique of Arthroscopic Suprapectoral Tenodesis of the Long Head of the Biceps With Interference Screw.

Project description:Tenodesis and tenotomy are the main surgical options to treat different pathologies of the long head of the biceps tendon. Maintaining the functionality of the tendon during tenodesis makes it more preferable surgical option. The consensus on the most advanced tenodesis technique has not been reached. The article presents the arthroscopic all-inside technique of suprapectoral tenodesis of the biceps tendon using the technique of "zone marking" with 2 spinal needles or pins.

Transosseous Suture-Based Arthroscopic Suprapectoral Biceps Tenodesis.

Project description:Biceps tenodesis is a well-accepted surgical treatment to relieve pain and dysfunction about the shoulder. Multiple locations and methods of tenodesis have been described, with similar outcomes. Transosseous cuff repairs and tendon repairs have been used for decades as a tried and true fixation method. This technique describes an arthroscopic transosseous technique for biceps tenodesis in the suprapectoral location that is technically simple, fast, eliminates the cost of implants, avoids an incision in the axillae which may be prone to dehiscence or infection, and releases the biceps sheath, which may be related to pain generation. Moreover, the biceps length tension relationship is easily recapitulated using anatomical landmarks.

Arthroscopic Suprapectoral Biceps Tenodesis Using Standard Portals.

Project description:The long head of the biceps (LHB) tendon is a common cause of shoulder pain. Biceps tenodesis is commonly used to address biceps and superior labrum pathology, reducing pain and restoring function. There are numerous techniques for biceps tenodesis, and it is unclear as to which single technique and approach provides significantly superior outcomes. In this technical note, we present an arthroscopic suprapectoral approach with release of the LHB from the bicipital groove and subsequent fixation with suture anchor. This technique simplifies the technique to be performed from standard arthroscopic portals and aims to maximize outcomes and minimize common complications associated with biceps tenodesis.

Lateral Decubitus Position for Arthroscopic Suprapectoral Biceps Tenodesis.

Project description:The purpose of this report is to describe arthroscopic suprapectoral biceps tenodesis in the lateral decubitus position. Many technique descriptions for this procedure emphasize the beach-chair position to obtain optimal anterior subdeltoid visualization of the relevant anatomy. This is not required and may be less desirable or comfortable for a shoulder arthroscopist who prefers the lateral decubitus position. Therefore, the aim of this report is to show that the relevant anatomy may be readily and safely accessed, and the procedure effectively performed, in the lateral decubitus position.

Increased Risk of Humeral Fracture With Open Versus Arthroscopic Tenodesis of the Long Head of the Biceps Brachii.

Project description:PurposeTo determine the risk of postoperative humeral fracture following tenotomy, open tenodesis and arthroscopic tenodesis of the long head of the biceps brachii.MethodsA retrospective review of deidentified patient data from the Medicare Standard Analytic File using the PearlDiver software was conducted to identify procedures performed between 2005 and 2014. Groups were matched by age, gender, region, and medical comorbidities.ResultsWe evaluated 157,163 patients who had undergone arthroscopic or open tenodesis or tenotomy of the long head of the biceps brachii over a 10-year period (2005-2014), and we identified 2,196 postoperative humeral fractures (1.4%). Matched subgroup analysis consisting of 44,292 patients demonstrated a statistically significant increase in humeral fracture risk in open (280; 1.26%) compared to arthroscopic tenodesis (232; 1.04%) with a P value of 0.03 and an odds ratio of 1.21. The majority of fractures were sustained by patients 65-74 years of age.ConclusionIn this study, an increased risk of postoperative humeral fracture was associated with open tenodesis of the LHB.Level of evidenceIII, Retrospective Comparative Trial.
