How to Expose the Long Head of the Biceps Tendon in Shoulder Arthroscopy Efficiently: The Tubercle-Traction and Touch-Tendon Method.

Arthroscopic tenodesis of the long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT) is a common procedure in a series of bicipital tendinopathies, including tendinitis, SLAP lesions, and tendon instability. Locating and exposing the LHBT during arthroscopy present a technical challenge in tenodesis. Blind exploration of the subacromial space may result in inadvertent tendon transection and iatrogenic damage to surrounding structures, leading to increased patient trauma, bleeding, and operation time.

Modified double-row suture bridge technique for anterior colliculus fractures combined with deltoid ligament injury: a retrospective study.

Background: The management of anterior colliculus fractures in combination with deltoid ligament injuries is a topic of debate, and there is a need to improve surgical outcomes. The purpose of the present study was to describe the application of a modified double-row suture bridge technique and evaluate its early clinical outcomes in the management of anterior colliculus fracture combined with deltoid ligament injury.

Methods: From 2020 to 2022, 12 patients with anterior colliculus fracture combined with deltoid ligament injury were treated using a modified double-row suture bridge technique.
