Biceps Tenodesis
The long head of the biceps is a common and often overlooked source of front-of-shoulder pain. Tenodesis detaches it from inside the joint and fixes it outside, relieving pain while keeping strength.

Dynamic Assessment
The tendon is inspected inside the joint and pulled into view.
Release
The inflamed intra-articular portion is released at its origin.
Site Preparation
The fixation site on the humerus is prepared.
التثبيت
The tendon is secured with a screw, anchor or soft-tissue technique.
Associated Pathology
Cuff, labrum or impingement problems are treated in the same session.
الجدول الزمني للتعافي (خطوة بخطوة)
الأسبوع ١–٢Sling for comfort · Passive motion · Avoid active biceps use
الأسبوع ٢–٤Active-assisted motion · Sling discarded
الأسبوع ٤–٨Active motion · Light strengthening, no heavy curling
الشهر ٢–٤Progressive biceps and cuff loading
الشهر ٤–٦Full strength work and return to sport*A degenerate or unstable biceps tendon produces persistent pain at the front of the shoulder that injections relieve only temporarily. Tenodesis addresses the cause.
Because the tendon is reattached rather than simply cut, arm contour and supination strength are preserved — an important difference from a simple tenotomy.
- Front-of-shoulder pain localised to the biceps groove
- Tendon inflammation, instability or partial tearing on MRI
- A SLAP lesion in patients better served by tenodesis than repair
- Biceps pathology found during another shoulder procedure
- Targeted diagnosisExamination and injection response help confirm the source of pain
- Discuss the optionsTenotomy is simpler but may cause cramping and a contour change
- تجهيز حمّالة الذراعUsed mainly for comfort in the first two weeks
- Plan the rehabBiceps loading is restricted for around six weeks
The biceps tendon is one of the most underestimated pain generators in the shoulder. When examination, imaging and injection all point at it, a tenodesis gives remarkably clean, predictable relief.
