AANA/ISAKOS Knee and Shoulder Arthroscopy Course-Online Didactics (April 2024)-TENODESIS DE BICEPS

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video demonstrates biceps tenodesis performed in a beach chair position using arthroscopic screw fixation through posterior and anterior portals. The injured biceps tendon is identified, tenotomized, and the bicipital groove exposed by cutting the transverse ligament. The tendon is folded and measured, then an 8mm diameter socket is drilled in the humerus. Two screw fixation methods are shown: one folding and suturing the tendon before fixing with an 8x25mm screw; the other using a two-pronged fork screw that secures the split tendon within the socket. The procedure ensures stable tendon fixation at the bicipital groove.
