Procedure

The Birmingham Biceps technique for subpectoral tenodesis was developed in conjunction with Drs. Lyle Cain, Jeff Dugas and Benton Emblom from the Andrews Sports Medicine &amp; Orthopedic Center.
The technique was designed to minimize the potential for postoperative humeral fractures by placing a small 5.5 mm PEEK SwiveLock® tenodesis implant near the top of the pectoralis at a newly defined anatomical landmark, the Pallium Pectoralis. The Pallium Pectoralis is a fascial sleeve that connects from the top of the pec to the medial border of the humerus approximately 2 cm distal to the transverse humeral ligament at the metaphyseal-diaphyseal junction. All implants and disposable instrumentation required for this procedure are conveniently available in the Birmingham Biceps implant system.

Product

The family of SwiveLock tenodesis implants is designed to support a multitude of proximal biceps tenodesis techniques and maximize OR efficiency. Implants are available with suture eyelets or closed eyelets for surgeons who prefer a whipstitching technique, and forked eyelet versions are offered for an all-arthroscopic approach. There is no need to predetermine tendon length, as position and tension can easily be set and visualized prior to final implant insertion. Obtain strong fixation by simply advancing the preloaded SwiveLock tenodesis screw. The system also features piloted headed reamers with built-in guide tips that eliminate the need to ream over a guide pin.
