Biceps tenodesis is an accepted treatment option for various pathologies of the long head of the biceps tendon and labrum. Many techniques have been published, both arthroscopic and open, that utilize various fixation techniques and locations of the tenodesis, yet none has been proven to be superior. We introduce a novel method, the SALSA (subacromial locking stitch anchor), an all-arthroscopic suprapectoral biceps tenodesis utilizing a running locking stitch from a double-loaded biocomposite anchor. This technique provides a reliable method of multipoint fixation including the transverse humeral ligament that avoids many of the potential complications encountered with other techniques.

Background: Surgical techniques for biceps tenodesis vary in approach, fixation strategy, and anatomic location without clear superior technique for this common procedure.

Hypothesis/purpose: The purpose of this study was to prospectively evaluate a randomized cohort of patients undergoing arthroscopic suprapectoral (ASBT) with interference screw fixation using an inlay technique versus mini-open subpectoral (MOBT) with a unicortical button implant using an onlay technique with regards to 1) clinical outcome measures and 2) structural healing as evaluated by ultrasound.

Methods: From May 2017 to April 2021, patients undergoing biceps tenodesis were preoperatively randomized to either ASBT or MOBT.

The clinicopathologic conditions of the long head of the biceps tendon vary, encompassing tendinitis, peritendinous inflammation, hypertrophy, and partial or complete tears. These symptoms are typically linked with SLAP tears and instability of the long head of the biceps tendon, often resulting in partial displacement or complete dislocation. The choice between tenotomy and tenodesis depends on varied factors.

Tenodesis of the long head of biceps is a common shoulder surgical procedure. Tenodesis can be performed either arthroscopically or open and within the glenohumeral joint, within the bicipital groove, or below the pectoralis major tendon insertion. Arthroscopic tenodesis of the biceps tendon reduces the risk of infection.

The long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT) is a common source of anterior shoulder pain, frequently addressed during rotator cuff repairs. Surgical management typically involves either tenotomy or tenodesis, each offering distinct advantages and disadvantages. Tenotomy, a straightforward procedure with a short rehabilitation period, is well-suited for low-demand patients but carries a higher risk of Popeye deformity and cramping pain.
