Arthroscopic Simple Biceps Tenotomy:
Arthroscopic Simple Biceps Tenotomy: This procedure involves an arthroscopic release of the LHB tendon from its attachment at the superior glenoid labrum. It is a quick and simple technique that does not require implants or extensive postoperative rehabilitation. The main drawback is the potential for developing a "Popeye" deformity, where the biceps muscle bulges due to distal migration, as well as occasional muscle cramps.
Anchor Tenotomy Technique:
Anchor Tenotomy Technique: This is a novel arthroscopic method where, after releasing the LHB tendon, it is anchored in place to prevent distal migration. The goal of this technique is to avoid the Popeye deformity and improve cosmetic outcomes while maintaining functional integrity. This procedure is technically more challenging and may involve a longer operative time compared to simple tenotomy.
