The 360 Double Lasso Loop for Biceps Tenodesis: Tips and Tricks

The management of the intra-articular portion of the long head of the biceps tendon (LHB) is a recurring topic in every discussion about shoulder pain. In massive rotator cuff tears or in tears of the superior third of the subscapularis tendon, our approach is to systematically perform a tenodesis o...

Sumario:The management of the intra-articular portion of the long head of the biceps tendon (LHB) is a recurring topic in every discussion about shoulder pain. In massive rotator cuff tears or in tears of the superior third of the subscapularis tendon, our approach is to systematically perform a tenodesis of the LHB. In this Technical Note, we present our arthroscopic technique for LHB tenodesis at the articular margin of the humeral head using a single anchor and a 360 double lasso loop. This technique guaranties a strong and efficient fixation of the biceps tendon and is reproducible when following the steps and tips and tricks outlined herein.
