Scope Essentials 2024-Biceps Tenodesis

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Assistant Professor Nick Trasolini discusses biceps tenodesis in orthopedic surgery. He compares arthroscopic and open techniques, addressing the diversity of proximal biceps pathologies and emphasizing the importance of patient age, body habitus, patient preferences, and demands. He explores the technical aspects of tenodesis procedures, fixation methods, and restoring the length-tension relationship to prevent a Popeye deformity. Clinical outcomes and considerations for location, fixation, and tension are highlighted. Dr. Trasolini recommends a mini-open subpectoral biceps tenodesis technique for optimal results while addressing risks and benefits. The approach depends on patient risk factors, demand, and concurrent procedures.
