"Triple-Fix" Arthroscopic Biceps Tenodesis: Indications and Technique.

ABSTRACT: Pathology of the long head of the bicep tendon is a common cause of anterior shoulder pain and frequently is treated surgically using either tenodesis or tenotomy. Tenodesis often is the preferred technique for younger, more active patients and laborers, especially when cosmesis and preservation of function are clinical priorities. However, the security of the tenodesis varies with fixation methods and techniques, and failure of the tenodesis can have both cosmetic and symptomatic consequences. Traditional arthroscopic tenodesis also can be technically challenging, as it usually requires extra-articular identification of the bicep tendon within the bicipital groove. The arthroscopic surgical technique described is an approach that has been routinely employed by the senior author for approximately 8 years that allows for accurate and reproducible exposure of the biceps tendon within the bicipital groove along with secure, anatomic tenodesis of the long head of the bicep tendon.

Arthroscopic Biceps Tenodesis by Bicortical Drilling Technique.

Project description:Pain arising from the long head of biceps tendon can cause significant disability of the shoulder. In young and physically demanding patients, biceps tenodesis is advised, in which the biceps tendon is cut from the native origin and fixed distally. Many methods have been proposed for this. This Technical Note describes arthroscopic biceps tenodesis in the bicipital groove by a bicortical drilling technique. The far cortex is breached only once by a guide wire, and the reamers do not breach the far cortex. The tendon is fixed in the new position using a PopLok anchor. This technique is safe and easy to perform but presents a learning curve.

Arthroscopic All-Inside Biceps Tenodesis: Technique and Outcomes.

Project description:The long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT) is a frequent source of disorders and pathology in the shoulder. Significant evidence is available on the management of disorders of the LHBT in the literature, and the LHBT is frequently addressed intraoperatively when involved in shoulder pathology. An all-arthroscopic, intra-articular biceps tenodesis with suture anchor fixation has several advantages that have not been well described previously, and it does not add significant morbidity to arthroscopic surgery to treat the rotator cuff or other sources of pain. Intra-articular LHBT tenodesis in the bicipital groove thus has advantages of less surgical time and a decreased bone footprint.

Arthroscopic On-Lay Biceps Tenodesis: The Loop-Lock Technique.

Project description:The biceps tendon is a common pain generator in the shoulder. Long head of the biceps tendon pathology occurs in a variety of different ways. There are several different treatment options available to address the long head of the biceps. With advances in arthroscopy, all-arthroscopic tenodesis is becoming a more popular choice to address biceps tendon pathology. We describe an all-arthroscopic technique, termed "the loop-lock," for performing a biceps tenodesis.

An All-Arthroscopic, Length-Tensioned Suprapectoral Biceps Tenodesis Technique.

Project description:Biceps tenodesis remains a popular choice for treating anterior shoulder pain in the setting of primary biceps tendinitis or biceps pain due to concomitant glenohumeral joint pathology. A variety of surgical approaches and fixation construct options are available for biceps tenodesis. The advantages of an all-arthroscopic biceps tenodesis include anatomic maintenance of the length-tension relation with strength preservation and improved cosmetic results. This technique can be technically challenging but allows for a minimally invasive approach to anchor the biceps. In this Technical Note, we describe a suprapectoral biceps tenodesis using an all-arthroscopic approach in the setting of concomitant rotator cuff repair. This technique offers a viable alternative to the open subpectoral 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.

The "Double Lasso-Loop" Technique Used for Arthroscopic Proximal Biceps Tenodesis.

Project description:Disorders of the long head biceps tendon are among the most challenging of shoulder problems to diagnose and manage. In this Technical Note, we introduce an arthroscopic technique for proximal biceps tenodesis high in the groove at the articular margin of the humeral head using a single anchor and 2 self-cinching loops followed by 5 alternating half-hitches to secure the construct. This method is simple and enables stable fixation of the biceps tendon.

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

Project description: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 groove" has been shown to preserve biceps length and reduce Popeye deformity compared with tenotomy. Knotless techniques are becoming popular; they provide low-profile fixation that limits knot abrasion and is not reliant on knot security for fixation. We present a variation of suprapectoral biceps tenodesis using knotless fixation in an onlay technique.

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.

Arthroscopic suprapectoral biceps tenodesis utilizing the subacromial locking stitch anchor (SALSA) technique.

Project description:Biceps tenodesis is an accepted treatment option for various pathologies of the long head of the biceps tendon and labrum. Many techniques have been published, both arthroscopic and open, that utilize various fixation techniques and locations of the tenodesis, yet none has been proven to be superior. We introduce a novel method, the SALSA (subacromial locking stitch anchor), an all-arthroscopic suprapectoral biceps tenodesis utilizing a running locking stitch from a double-loaded biocomposite anchor. This technique provides a reliable method of multipoint fixation including the transverse humeral ligament that avoids many of the potential complications encountered with other techniques.

"Relaxed" biceps proximal tenodesis: an arthroscopic technique with decreased residual tendon tension.

Project description:Tenodesis of the long head of the biceps tendon (LHB) at the upper part of the bicipital groove has been related to persistent postoperative bicipital pain. This is possibly due to the inflammation of the remaining tendon within the groove. This, in turn, could be attributed to the continual mechanical stress placed on the tendon in the narrow bicipital groove. Theoretically, should the LHB be more "relaxed," the mechanical stress applied on it would be diminished. On the basis of this rationale, we present an arthroscopic biceps tenodesis technique, according to which the tendon is fixed at the entrance of the bicipital groove, using a bioabsorbable screw, relaxed by 5 mm. In this lax position, the residual LHB tension is expected to be decreased compared with the initial tension, whereas no cosmetic deformity (Popeye sign) or impaired muscular performance is anticipated.
