Open Biceps Tenodesis: The Interference Screw Technique

摘要

As the role of the long head of the biceps tendon becomes increasingly recognized as a component of rotator cuff pathology, indications for biceps tenodesis have expanded. Historical techniques of biceps tenodesis often have been tedious, involving keyholes and/or transosse-ous sutures. We have been using a technically simple technique for biceps tenodesis employing a bioabsorb-able interference screw since 1995 with excellent clinical success. This article details that technique.
