Arthroscopic Suprapectoral Retensioning Biceps Tenodesis

View through CrossRef
Abstract Tendinopathy of the long head of biceps is a relatively common pathology that we usually see in most of our shoulder arthroscopy procedures. Surgical treatment for long head of biceps tendinopathies ranges from simple biceps tenotomy to biceps tenodesis depending on many factors, two of which are the age and the patient's level of activity. Various techniques in the literature for biceps tenodesis have been described, such as whether to do it open or arthroscopically, suprapectoral or subpectoral, as well as the type of fixation to be used. However, the optimal option is still debatable. In this Technical Note, we describe an arthroscopic technique for distal suprapectoral biceps tenodesis using a knotless corkscrew anchor that has many advantages, such as being an all‐arthroscopic with the ability to retension the tendon after implantation. We support our technique with photos and videos with detailed explanations of the technique. Technique Video video See video under supplementary data.
