Proximal Biceps Tenodesis

Abstract: Purpose:To (1) better define the anatomy of the proximal shoulder in relation to the long head of the biceps tendon, (2) compare the length-tension relationship of the biceps tendon in the native shoulder with that after arthroscopic and open tenodesis techniques using interference screws, and (3) provide surgical recommendations for both procedures based on study findings.Study Design:Descriptive laboratory study.Methods:Twenty fresh-frozen cadaveric shoulders were dissected for analysis. Initial anatomic mea… Show more

“…We opted for a supra-pectoral tenodesis instead of a sub-pectoral tenodesis for the following reasons. Firstly, it is close to the origin of the biceps tendon (at superior labrum), thus the length of tendon resection is less, compared to a subpectoral tenodesis [ 14 ]. Since considerable length of tendon is preserved, even if this tenodesis fails in future, a subpectoral tenodesis could still be done as a second option.…”
