Patients can expect reduced shoulder pain and improved arm function. Benefits are often noticed within a few weeks to months post-surgery.

Biceps tenodesis is a surgical procedure where the long tendon of the biceps muscle is reattached to a different location on the shoulder or upper arm. This helps alleviate pain and improve function in patients with certain shoulder issues.

Patients will be under anesthesia during the procedure and won't feel pain. Post-operative pain can be managed through medications. Discomfort and swelling are common initially, but these typically subside with proper care and physical therapy.

Tools and equipment include surgical sutures, anchors, and arthroscopy instruments. Anesthesia will be administered by an anesthesiologist.

Biceps tenodesis addresses problems related to biceps tendonitis, partial tendon tears, or instability. The procedure aims to relieve pain and restore normal shoulder function.
