Biceps tenodesis involves detaching the LHB from it's superior labrum in the shoulder and reattached to the humerus bone just below the shoulder. This procedure is more complex than a tenotomy , but avoids the risks of biceps discomfort, weakness and a 'popeye' appearance. Tenodesis is preferable for more active people. Using modern fixation screws the repair is strong enough to move the arm early after surgery.
tendon is encased within a synovial sheath, which ends as a blind pouch at the end of the bicipital groove. As a result, the biceps tendon is intraarticular but extrasynovial. The average length of the tendon is 102mm. It is interesting to note that the shape and cross-sectional area of the tendon changes as it runs from proximal to distal. At its proximal attachment near the glenoid, it has an average cross-section of 8.4 3.4mm. This decreases to 4.5 2.1mm as the tendon leaves the bicipital groove. Therefore, rupture of the biceps tendon most commonly occurs proximally near the glenoid labrum and distally in the bicipital groove. Function The biceps muscle-tendon unit is one of many structures in the human body to cross two joints. In the elbow, it serves primarily as a forearm supinator.
