2021 Annual Meeting Shoulder Access Pass-Biceps Tenodesis: High, Low, Tunnel, Inlay/Outlay

Biceps Tenodesis: High, Low, Tunnel, Inlay/Outlay - How Much Does It Matter?

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses the evaluation and treatment of biceps-related pain. They emphasize the importance of biceps tenodesis as a reliable treatment option. The goals of tenodesis are to preserve the length-tension relationship and maximize the strength of fixation. Various techniques and fixation constructs are discussed, with no significant differences found in biomechanical studies or patient-reported outcomes. The speaker also mentions the importance of thorough decompression of the biceps groove and the potential risks associated with certain techniques. Overall, primary biceps tenodesis is shown to provide consistent clinical outcomes with low complication rates.
