Subpectoral Biceps Tenodesis: Interference Screw and Cortical Button Fixation

Abstract Bicep tendon pathology often arises from chronic overuse injuries, acute trauma, or degenerative changes in the glenohumeral joint. These injuries can cause significant shoulder pain, and can greatly limit range of motion and, in turn, activities of daily living. The diagnosis of biceps pat...

Description
Summary:	Abstract Bicep tendon pathology often arises from chronic overuse injuries, acute trauma, or degenerative changes in the glenohumeral joint. These injuries can cause significant shoulder pain, and can greatly limit range of motion and, in turn, activities of daily living. The diagnosis of biceps pathologies can be challenging, because patients often present with nonspecific symptoms. Some bicep tendon pathologies may be treated nonoperatively; however, biceps tendon subluxation and the presence of rotator cuff or SLAP lesions require surgical management. One of the options for the treatment of bicep tendon pathology includes miniopen subpectoral biceps tenodesis. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe in detail our preferred operative technique for miniopen subpectoral biceps tenodesis with 2 different fixation methods.
