Abstract

Biceps tendinopathy is a common cause of chronic anterior shoulder pain characterized by altered joint mechanics with considerable deficits in range of motion secondary to pain. The benefits of in-office nano-arthroscopy (IONA) include the ability to diagnosis and treat biceps tendinopathy, quicker patient recovery, reduced cost, and improved patient satisfaction. The purpose of this technical report is to describe the technique for performing IONA for biceps tendinopathy (biceps tenotomy/biceps tenodesis), with special consideration for obtaining adequate local anesthesia, proper indications, adequate visualization, and the advantages of performing these procedures in the office rather than the operating room.
