Abstract
A biceps tenodesis is a common surgical procedure that is often carried out in conjunction with other surgical shoulder repairs to relieve biceps tendonitis. This case presents a 50-year-old woman who suffered a humerus fracture following an open keyhole biceps tenodesis. The potential reasons for the fracture as well as a brief analysis of the technique itself are presented. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of a humerus fracture following keyhole biceps tenodesis in the English-language literature.
