چکیده

We describe an arthroscopic keyhole technique for proximal biceps tenodesis. The technique is safe, easy to reproduce, cost-effective, and less time consuming. It does not need any special instrumentation and is suitable especially for use in the developing countries. It enables examination of the biceps sheath and distal biceps tendon for unidentified tears, synovitis, and fibrosis.

We advocate tenodesis, for the following reasons: to re-establish the resting muscle length so as to avoid scaring and spas...

Arthroscopic tenodesis of the long head of the biceps.

The long head of the biceps (LHB) is commonly implicated in shoulder pathology due to its anatomic course and intimacy with the rotator cuff and superior labrum of the glenoid. Treatment of tendinosis of the LHB may be required secondary to partial thickness tears, instability/subluxation, associated rotator cuff tears, or SLAP (superior labrum, anterior to posterior) lesions. Treatment options...
