Video Summary
Dr. Alan Curtis discusses biceps tenodesis, emphasizing its role in treating biceps pathology, often associated with rotator cuff tears. The long head of the biceps experiences significant stress, leading to issues like tenosynovitis or SLAP lesions. Studies show no significant difference in outcomes based on tenodesis location or technique, making surgeon preference key. Curtis prefers arthroscopic methods and highlights techniques for older and younger patients. He stresses never wasting the biceps tendon, using it to augment rotator cuff repairs or superior capsule reconstructions, improving stability and repair strength, especially in massive or revision tears.
