Arthroscopic Biceps Tenodesis: Technique and Results in Six Dogs

From the Comparative Orthopaedic Laboratory (Cook, Fox), University of Missouri, Columbia, Missouri 65211 and the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Sports Medicine and Shoulder Reconstruction (Kenter), University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, Ohio 45267.

Biceps tenodesis was performed using an arthroscopic-assisted technique on six dogs diagnosed with chronic bicipital tendon pathology. The technique was performed using two different fixation methods (i.e., cannulated interference screw, cannulated screw and tissue washer). All six dogs had successful outcomes in terms of return to full function at a mean follow-up time of 11.7 months after surgery. Arthroscopic biceps tenodesis is a feasible option for surgical management of biceps tendon pathology, and it may have advantages over open tenodesis and open or arthroscopic tenotomy. Further study is needed before definitive recommendations regarding indications, complications, and prognosis associated with arthroscopic biceps tenodesis can be made.
