Biceps tenodesis describes the surgical procedure that is performed for the treatment of a tear in the tendon that joins biceps muscle to the shoulder. Symptoms of biceps tendon tear include a severe pain in the upper arm and around the shoulder that is accompanied by an occasional popping sound, tenderness, and weakness at the shoulder and elbow, difficulty in rotating the arm and the appearance of “Popeye muscle”. The procedure involves the cutting of the attachment of the biceps tendon to the labrum, then reattaching it to the humerus bone to remove the pressure from the labrum.
