My Best Techniques for Biceps Tenodesis

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video presents various biceps tenodesis techniques demonstrated in a cadaver lab. The simplest is the loop and tuck method, using a strap and knotless anchor in rotator cuff reconstruction. Advantages include appropriate tensioning and efficient anchor use. Arthroscopic suprapectoral tenodesis involves debriding the bicipital groove, creating a humeral foramen, and securing the biceps tendon with a knotless anchor. Another technique attaches the long head of the biceps to the short head and the conjoint tendon via double-strapped sutures. In cases of ruptured biceps, open subpectoral tenodesis with double-row fixation offers robust repair. These methods are detailed in Ana's surgical textbook.
