“Triple-Fix” Arthroscopic Biceps Tenodesis: Indications and Technique

“Double Row Rip-Stop” Arthroscopic Repair Technique for Acute, Retracted Rotator Cuff Tears

“…Because of the proximity of the intact biceps tendon to the repair footprint in this specific case and the importance of restoring the anterior cable of the supraspinatus, the authors elected to perform a tenodesis of the biceps tendon within the bicipital groove, using the authors’ previously published “Triple-Fix” technique. 13 This Triple-Fix technique is also demonstrated in the technique video ( Video 1 and Fig 4 ). Leaving the biceps intact until after the tenodesis is completed helps to preserve anatomic biceps length.…”

Fast Arthroscopic Biceps Tenodesis Without Penetrating Grasper

“…Arthroscopic tenodesis has advantages compared with open surgery, since it can reduce the risk of infection, reduce blood loss, and decrease damage to the musculocutaneous nerve. 9 There is a statistically significant difference in complication rates between open and arthroscopic tenodesis. However, complication rates remain <2% in both techniques.…”

Arthroscopic In Situ Biceps Tenodesis Using a Double Loop-and-Tack Knotless Suture Anchor

“…Various techniques have been described for tenodesis of the LHBT, which differ in approach (open versus arthroscopic), location (intra-articular proximal to the biceps sling versus extra-articular suprapectoral or subpectoral within the bicipital groove), and fixation method (e.g., soft tissue simple suture, polymer versus all-suture anchor, interference screw, bone tunnels). 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 To date, no single technique has been shown to be superior. The surgeon should use clinical judgement to select the most effective and reproducible technique that addresses the main goals of 1) maintaining physiological LHBT tension, 2) achieving secure fixation, and 3) removing or decompressing pathologic tissue.…”
