A procedure that relocates the damaged portion of the biceps tendon using Q-FIX knotless anchor technology, eliminating shoulder pain while maintaining arm function.
"I had bicep tendon and rotator cuff re-attachment with Dr. Abouali. Pathway bridged all the roadblocks I encounter with the provincial system. My physiotherapist says my recovery results are the best he's seen."
— Brad Blanchard
Biceps Tenodesis & Rotator Cuff Repair
"Had complete bicep tendon tear and time-sensitive surgery. Dr. Alolabi repaired my bicep tendon and rotator cuff. I feel like Bucky from the Avengers! I'm on week 3 and have had very little pain. I'd do it again in a heartbeat."
— Brian McLeod
Bicep Tendon & Supraspinatus Repair
The long head of the biceps tendon runs through the shoulder joint and can become a source of pain due to inflammation, fraying, or tearing. This commonly occurs alongside rotator cuff problems or as a result of repetitive overhead motion.
Biceps tenodesis releases the damaged portion of the tendon from inside the shoulder and reattaches it to the upper arm bone (humerus) in a new position. This removes the pain source while preserving arm strength and function.
