Achieve a simple, reproducible repair of the distal biceps with the BicepsButton implant systems and associated tension-slide technique. Using a titanium BicepsButton implant, this technique reliably seats the tendon against the far cortex of the bone socket to maximize the surface area for tendon-to-bone healing. A tenodesis screw adds to the construct strength and helps place the tendon at the more anatomic crescent-shaped insertion. FiberLoop® suture, which is included, also reduces time spent whipstitching the tendon while the button inserter allows for a simplified, less traumatic single-incision repair.

Procedure

Subpectoral biceps tenodesis using cortical buttons and the tension-slide technique allows for reliable tensioning and a bicortical or unicortical repair of the long head of the biceps.
Featuring a locking jaw, the TensionTight™ button is used for performing knotless onlay biceps tenodesis with an arthroscopic suprapectoral or open subpectoral approach. Securing the biceps tendon with a Loop 'N' Tack™ stitch enables an all-arthroscopic suprapectoral tenodesis.
With the bicortical technique, use the BicepsButton™ implant to draw the tendon against the distal cortex of the bone socket. A tenodesis screw can be added to further support the repair. 
 
The unicortical technique requires the 8.5 mm long proximal tenodesis button, which has angled edges to promote a toggle effect when the button contacts the far cortex. The tension-slide technique reliably draws the tendon onto the humerus.

Cortical Button Tenodesis Technique

The Bio-Tenodesis Screw System was designed specifically for the reattachment of soft tissue, both ligament and tendon, to bone. The Bio-Tenodesis Driver facilitates accurate graft tensioning into a bony socket in a simple “push-in” method. The interference fit provided by the Tenodesis Screw and FiberWire virtually eliminates graft separation from the bone. Because of the strength of the repair achieved with the system, patients are generally allowed to begin postoperative rehab earlier than previously permitted. The Bio-Tenodesis Screws are composed of PLLA and are available in numerous sizes to fit all applications. There are also titanium and PEEK Tenodesis Screws available for use with the system, if desired. The system is ideal for the reattachment of soft tissue to bone in proximal/distal biceps tenodesis.
Please note that certain bio (PLLA) anchors and screws are not available for sale in EMEA.

Tenodesis Technique

As part of the distal biceps repair procedure, the tension-slide technique with the BicepsButton™ implant provides a simple, reproducible, and biomechanically stable repair. This tensioning technique reliably draws the tendon against the distal cortex of the bone socket. Adding a tenodesis screw improves the biomechanical strength and allows the tendon to be placed in a more anatomic position.
The all-suture FiberTak® button can be used in lieu of traditional metal buttons for both bicortical and unicortical tension-slide tenodesis techniques.
