A member asked:
What are the risks with a tenodesis procedure? i will be going in for a bicep tenodesis soon. what are any risks that i should be aware of beforehand?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
In : In your shoulder? Biceps tenodesis is usually done because the tendon of the biceps muscle going into your shoulder is damage. The tendon has to be released from inside the shoulder joint and secured to the bone outside of the shoulder using small anchors. Complications can occur and are rare. The most common complication involves injury to nerves around the shoulder. Surgery is successful about 85-90%.
