Subpectoral Biceps Tenodesis Using an Expanding PEEK Device
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this Technical Note, we describe a method of mini-open long head biceps subpectoral tenodesis. The implant used is a threadless expanding PEEK (polyether ether ketone) interference device that fixes the biceps tendon in a drill hole in the humerus under the inferior border of the pectoralis major tendon. The diameter of the drill hole varies between 6 and 8 mm depending on the width of the tendon. The procedure can be performed through a 3-cm incision centered on the inferior border of the pectoralis tendon. Based on our experience, it is a quick, safe, and reliable tenodesis procedure.

Clinical outcomes after subpectoral biceps tenodesis with an interference screw.
BACKGROUND Subpectoral biceps tenodesis with an interference screw has been shown to be an effective procedure from both an anatomic and biomechanical perspective. There have been no clinical outcome data on this procedure to date. HYPOTHESIS Subpectoral biceps tenodesis is an effective procedure in eliminating biceps tendinosis symptoms. STUDY DESIGN Case series; Level of evidence, 4. ME...
متن کاملOpen subpectoral biceps tenodesis: reliable treatment for all biceps tendon pathology.
Long head of the biceps (LHB) tendon pathology is a common cause of pain in the shoulder. Pathology encountered includes biceps tendon tears and tendonitis, biceps anchor or superior labral tears, and biceps subluxation or instability. Current surgical treatment options for LHB disorders include tenotomy and tenodesis. Tenodesis prevents cosmetic deformity and biceps cramping with activity. Ope...

Tenodesis of the long head of the biceps (LHB) tendon has long been recognized as a valid alternative to address pathologic conditions of this tendon. However, the location and type of fixation is still a matter of discussion, because common complications associated with this procedure include failure of the repair, persistent pain, reaction to the fixation device, cosmetic deformity, and fract...

BACKGROUND Bioabsorbable interference screw fixation has superior biomechanical properties compared to suture anchor fixation for biceps tenodesis. However, it is unknown whether fixation technique influences clinical results. HYPOTHESIS We hypothesize that subpectoral interference screw fixation offers relevant clinical advantages over suture anchor fixation for biceps tenodesis. STUDY DES...
متن کاملBiomechanical evaluation of subpectoral biceps tenodesis: dual suture anchor versus interference screw fixation.
BACKGROUND Subpectoral biceps tenodesis has been reliably used to treat a variety of biceps tendon pathologies. Interference screws have been shown to have superior biomechanical properties compared to suture anchors; although, only single anchor constructs have been evaluated in the subpectoral region. The purpose of this study was to compare interference screw fixation with a suture anchor co...
