The Saber Technique for Biceps Tenotomy
Long head of the biceps (LHB) pathology is a prevalent cause of shoulder pain. Arthroscopic tenotomy and tenodesis are performed for treatment at increasing frequency. When LHB pathology is the only glenohumeral intra-articular pathology that needs to be addressed, and an LHB tenotomy or subpectoral...

| description | Long head of the biceps (LHB) pathology is a prevalent cause of shoulder pain. Arthroscopic tenotomy and tenodesis are performed for treatment at increasing frequency. When LHB pathology is the only glenohumeral intra-articular pathology that needs to be addressed, and an LHB tenotomy or subpectoral LHB tenodesis is planned, it is unnecessary and potentially harmful to establish an anterior rotator interval portal. The objective of this Technical Note is to describe a minimally invasive technique for LHB tenotomy at the supraglenoid tubercle without the need for establishing an accessory portal. |
