long head biceps tendinopathy, intra-articular tenodesis, rotator cuff injuries, subscapular tendon injuriesAbstract
Long head biceps tendinopathy is a common cause of shoulder pain. Usually, this pathology is related to both, tendinopathy and rotator cuff injuries, most frequently involving the subscapularis tendon. The diagnosis of this entity is difficult clinically and radiologi- cally, and the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of partial biceps injuries in Magnetic Resonance imaging (MRI) is relatively low. The aim of the technical note is to present an intra-articular tenodesis of the long head of the biceps using a knotless bone anchor, which serves once to reinsert type I and II Laffosse subscapular tendon injuries with additional sutures.Evidence Level: IV.
