Subpectoral Biceps Tenodesis
In this video presentation, Dr. Millett demonstrates a subpectoral biceps tenodesis.
Dr. Millett shows how to mark the incision and where to cut to find the facia and cut through, then locate the short head of the biceps. The assistant will retract the pectoralis major while Dr. Millett locates and retracts the tendon. 2cm up from the muscle/tendon junction, use a whipstitch. Next, open the bicipial groove and take off the soft tissues. Visualize the bone, then use an 8mm tenodesis driver with sofit tissue sleeve. Drill a hole, perpendicular to the bone. Secure the suture thread tendon through the created hole. Advance the screw, then feel that the scres is secure. Finally, tie the sutures over the top so that the tendon is fixed in the bicepital groove.
