Hypothesis
Can an arthroscopic soft tissue tenodesis of the long head of the biceps tendon be effectively performed in conjunction with a Roman Bridge repair for rotator cuff tears?
Conclusion
The technique allows for a quick and simple repair of rotator cuff tears while managing long head of the biceps tendon pathology without additional fixation.
Supporting Evidence
- The technique is simple and fast, avoiding the need for additional fixation.
- It allows for effective management of both rotator cuff tears and long head of the biceps tendon pathology.
Takeaway
Doctors can fix a shoulder problem by tying a tendon in a way that is quick and easy, without needing extra tools.
Methodology
An arthroscopic technique using a double pulley and suture bridges for rotator cuff repair and soft tissue tenodesis.
Limitations
No level I evidence comparing this technique with other tenodesis methods.
