Abstract:Proximal biceps tendon pathology is a common source of shoulder symptoms. Thus, visualization of the entire extent of the biceps tendon is often required for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Accurately recognizing the presence and extent of biceps pathology intraoperatively is made more difficult, however, due to the extra-articular location of a significant portion of the biceps tendon as it courses within the bicipital groove. Unfortunately, identification of the biceps groove in the subacromial spa… Show more
“…The described “slit” technique greatly simplifies the ease of identifying the bicipital groove, making this step very reliable and efficient. 8 Table 2 further lists technique suggestions and precautions.…”

“…This article describes a technique developed by the authors that combines an efficient and reproducible method to expose the extra-articular biceps tendon with a secure arthroscopic tenodesis using a triple-loaded suture anchor that allows for “triple-fix” augmented fixation. 8 …”
