Summary of Anchor Shape Tenotomy Technique
| Two incisions are performed in the LHB. |
| The first incision is an oblique incomplete incision that involves 50% of the tendon. |
| The second incision is a complete transverse incision that releases the LHB at the tendon-labrum junction. |
| The first incision (oblique incomplete incision) allows the remnant of the LHB to open up and form an anchor shape that anchors the LHB at the articular entrance of the bicipital groove. |
