This article describes a method of arthroscopic subscapular tenodesis of the long head of the biceps tendon using a single anterolateral portal, making it a minimally invasive procedure. This method is done by using the Swivelock tenodesis anchor with forked tip PEEK Eyelet from Arthrex, which enables anatomically stable fixation of the biceps tendon with a relatively decreased rate of complications.
