Abstract
Traditional management of end-stage pain and degeneration of the proximal biceps tendon
has included open tenodesis of the biceps tendon. Several methods have been described.
More recently, however, arthroscopic techniques have been developed. This article
introduces a novel method of arthroscopic biceps tenodesis that does not require any
specialized hardware.
