Rotator Cuff Repair with Biceps and Tenodesis Procedure

Rotator cuff repair with bicep tenodesis is a surgical procedure to resolve shoulder pain and dysfunction in patients with rotator cuff tears and accompanying bicep tendon pathology. The goal of this procedure is to repair a torn rotator cuff to restore its function and stability. Biceps tenodesis is a procedure to detach the tendon from its original attachment site within the shoulder joint and secure it to a different location in the humerus bone to alleviate symptoms.

When is this Procedure Necessary?

This procedure is recommended for patients who have a combination of rotator cuff tears and bicep tendon problems. Patients with this condition will typically begin trying conservative therapies including physical therapy, pain injections, and lifestyle modifications. The overall goal of rotator cuff repair with biceps tenodesis is to improve shoulder function, decrease pain, and prevent further damage to the shoulder joint. An orthopedic surgeon will evaluate the shoulder and bicep using physical and imaging modalities to determine the best treatment approach.

What To Expect

Patients will be under general anesthesia to ensure their comfort throughout the procedure. During the procedure, the surgeon will first repair any tears within the rotator cuff using sutures or anchors to reattach the torn tendon to the bone. Following this, the long head of the bicep tendon is detached from its original insertion point on the labrum and reattached to a more stable location on the humerus bone using screws or other fixation devices. This helps to alleviate pain and improve stability in the shoulder joint. When the goal of the procedure has been achieved, the surgeon will close all incisions and the patient will be monitored as they wake up from the anesthesia.

Patients may experience pain and discomfort in the region after the procedure. Patients are typically prescribed anti-inflammatory pain medications to ensure their comfort throughout the recovery process. After initial healing, patients will engage in physical therapy to ensure proper healing.
