Abstract
All biceps tenodesis techniques involving extra-articular tendon preparation consist of 2 distinct steps for tenotomy and tendon grasping. These 2 maneuvers are performed by different instruments. A single-step tendon release technique is described for both arthroscopic and open shoulder surgery. This technique finds application in arthroscopic proximal suprapectoral tenodesis, open treatment of proximal humerus fractures, and suprapectoral mini-open tenodesis. Herein, we describe an arthroscopic biceps tenodesis technique that combines the actions of cutting and gripping the tendon in a single step.
