Pathology of the long head of the biceps tendon can be treated surgically with a multitude of tenodesis techniques; however, there is a lack of consensus on which technique provides the most optimal outcomes. Commonly used methods include inlay tenodesis with a bone tunnel and interference screw construct and onlay tenodesis with anchors or unicortical buttons. Although current methods typically provide satisfactory outcomes, many surgeons believe complications and failure rates remain suboptimal across techniques. In this article, we present an arthroscopic suprapectoral biceps tenodesis technique using an anchor device that was developed to address the shortcomings of current techniques, optimize outcomes, and minimize risk.

Objective: Modified double-row biceps tenodesis (MDBT) has been proved to be effective in treating slap injuries, but the impact of closing the rotator cuff gap remained postoperatively (the Pulley ring repair) on the long-term shoulder function and stability has not been conclusively investigated.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 157 patients with isolated unilateral type II SLAP lesions treated with MDBT from January 2019 to January 2023. 77 patients were without the Pulley ring repair (group A) and the remaining 80 patients were with the Pulley ring repair (group B).

Purpose: The aim of this study was to identify causes for recurrent PLRI, compare surgical treatment options, and analyze functional outcomes following revision LUCL reconstruction.

Methods: A retrospective multicentric case analysis was conducted, including patients who underwent revision LUCL surgery due to recurrent PLRI. Demographic data, surgical techniques (for primary and revision LUCL reconstruction) and postoperative rehabilitation protocols were analyzed, and causes of failure documented.

Anterior shoulder pain is a common complaint often caused by pathology of the long head of the biceps such as biceps tendinitis, partial biceps tears, biceps instability, and SLAP lesions. Surgical treatment of biceps pathology includes tenotomy versus tenodesis, with tenodesis being favored in young, active patients owing to less cramping pain and superior outcomes in terms of shoulder function and cosmesis. Various surgical techniques for tenodesis of the long head of the biceps exist, with varying indications.
