Arthroscopic Suprapectoral Biceps Tenodesis Using Standard Portals

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...

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.
