Key Points of LHB Tenodesis With Cortical Button Technique
The mini-incision should be centered over the inferior border of the pectoralis major tendon. |
The LHB should be whipstitched beginning at the myotendinous junction and proceeding 15 mm proximally. |
The unicortical humeral drill hole of the anterior cortex should be slightly larger than the tendon size. |
The tension-slide technique is used to shuttle the tendon into the humerus. |
The construct is reinforced by passing a single suture through the tendon adjacent to the anterior humerus drill hole. |
