Biceps Tenodesis in the Shoulder: Surgical Technique

I will show you the specific steps necessary to perform an arthroscopic biceps tenodesis procedure in the shoulder. I will review the anatomy of the biceps tendon as it relates to the shoulder joint and how that anatomy can lead to shoulder pain.

Just want to say thank you for your excellent use of graphics and models. I’ve been to three different orthopedists in the past year, and I learned almost nothing useful from them because none of them had 3D models. Instead, they ALL sketched terrible, confusing drawings of shoulder joints on the backs of my MRI reports. I learned more from three short videos on your channel than from all of those other orthopedists put together.

My concerns are: 1) from the video the tendon is moved from the cut down to where the hole is. Wouldn't that cause slack in the bicept? 2) I would think while the procedure is necessary for many the flexiblilty you would have with tendon going all they up into Labrum is superior to after the procedure. I think of an instrument and what happens to the playability of string when you shorten it. It becomes less flexible.

Thank you, this was very helpful in understanding what I’m possibly facing should I elect to have this surgery.

Had this procedure three weeks ago. Used my bicep to support a small amount of weight 2 weeks after surgery and tore the tendon. Don’t use your bicep post-op!!!

[@RAXMW]

I had the operation 11 days ago and I can't move my arm yet. Did you move it after the operation? And how did you feel when you tore your biceps muscle again?

Define “small amount of weight “

Excellent pictures

in what case this surgery is necessary , and does it fits with an athlete who depends on power and explosive shoulder movement in training after the operation

[@firstnamesecondname852]

I would attach the tendon in the groove *before* cutting it to make sure the tension is correct.

My long head bicep tendon slipped out of groove , can it be place back to the place through physical therapy

I had this surgery 3 and 1/2 weeks ago and still having a lot of pain how long does it take for the tendon to heal in that space

[@kristymrodz8048]

😮oh no! I will have this surgery in June and I’m scared to death ☠️ I want something to get rid of the pain, not to make it worse. Do you recommend this kind of procedure?

The cure looks as bad as the disease.

[@mintr510]

Looks like a cure from the middle ages. Yup, I prefer to keep my biceps intact.

[@davidstreet741]

After this surgery for me.. it caused the popeye deformity. Why?

[@springteen3743]

Not much progress in this field for the last 50 years, sad😢
