Mini-Open Subpectoral Biceps Tenodesis

Mini Open Subpectoral Press Fit Biceps Tenodesis

Surgical management of long head of biceps (LHB) lesions is frequent, often alongside other shoulder issues. When conservative treatment fails, tenotomy (for low-demand patients) or tenodesis (preferred for active individuals) is performed. Subpectoral tenodesis offers advantages, and this study assesses a novel press-fit bony plug technique for this approach, evaluating its safety and efficacy.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients with Biceps tendon pathologies after failure of conservative measures: biceps tenosynovitis, recurrent subluxation, or SLAP lesions.
• Young and middle-aged individuals (20-60 years old).

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients with avascular necrosis or arthritis.
• Extensive bone loss.
• Poor bone density.
• Active infection.
