Abstract

Tenodesis and tenotomy are the main surgical options to treat different pathologies of the long head of the biceps tendon. Maintaining the functionality of the tendon during tenodesis makes it more preferable surgical option. The consensus on the most advanced tenodesis technique has not been reached. The article presents the arthroscopic all-inside technique of suprapectoral tenodesis of the biceps tendon using the technique of "zone marking" with 2 spinal needles or pins.
