More Details: |
Arthroscopic long head of biceps tenotomy is an established technique for addressing shoulder pain associated with long head of biceps pathology. Arthroscopic techniques, compared with open surgery, have demonstrated improvements in outcomes for patients including rapid recovery, but either regional or general anesthesia is required, which is associated with complications. We describe a novel technique using a Nanoscope needle arthroscopy system that allows for long head of biceps tenotomy to be performed under local anesthetic in the outpatient or office setting. |
