Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: To describe, step by step, an intra-articular arthroscopic tenodesis of the long head of the biceps using a high-strength suture passed through the tendon with a Penetrator® suture passer and fixation with a 4.75-mm knotless threaded anchor.
Conclusion: This technique is simple, easy to learn, minimally invasive, and yields good postoperative outcomes.
