Abstract
The long head of the biceps brachii tendon arises mainly from the superior glenoid labrum and supraglenoid tubercle. Biceps brachii display anatomic variations, but these are rarely encountered. We report, for the first time, a technique called arthroscopic intra-articular biceps tenoplasty describing restoration of the long head of the biceps tendon using the superior capsule in a case of anomalous congenital split biceps tendon encountered incidentally during diagnostic glenohumeral arthroscopy in a patient who was treated for shoulder instability and SLAP tear.
