Abstract
Long head of the biceps pathology is a common cause of shoulder pain and dysfunction. Surgical treatment can be either a tenotomy or a tenodesis. Long-term results may be similar in both surgical techniques; however, the latest systematic reviews indicate that tenodesis offers superior clinical and functional results in young patients and athletes. Considering the favorable results with the biceps tenodesis, we present this arthroscopic tenodesis in which the long head of the biceps is fixed in the bicipital groove with an all-suture anchor passed directly through the tendon, providing a stable and fast fixation without using penetrating grasper.
