Ortho | Biceps Tenodesis

Biceps tenodesis is a specialized orthopedic procedure aimed at relieving shoulder pain and improving joint stability. This surgery involves reattaching the biceps tendon to the humerus bone, which alleviates pain caused by biceps tendonitis or superior labral tears. By addressing these conditions, biceps tenodesis greatly improves shoulder function and reduces discomfort.

Dr. Aaron Schwartz approaches Biceps Tenodesis utilizing the Loop ‘N’ Tack procedure. Loop ‘N’ Tack Tenodesis is a straightforward arthroscopic approach to biceps tenodesis that provides substantial pain relief and improves shoulder function. This technique minimizes the potential for future cramping or cosmetic “Popeye” deformity.

Dr. Aaron Schwartz is based in Portland, Oregon at The Oregon Clinic Orthopedics.
