Description
Summary:Anterior shoulder pathology involving the subscapularis is often associated with the biceps tendon because both anatomic structures intersect the lesser tuberosity. Standard procedures for such pathology often involve simultaneous subscapularis repairs and biceps tenodesis. Single anterior portal subscapularis repairs have been emerging in the past 5 years because of cost-effectiveness and efficiency. Biceps tenodesis is a common procedure performed both open and arthroscopically. This technique takes advantage of the close relation between the long head of the biceps tendon and subscapularis tendon to restore the functional length-tension relation and preserve function through fixation using a single portal and a single knotless suture anchor.
