Arthrex - Tension-Slide Technique

Translate? This website is also available in your language! Do you want to switch? Yes Not now Don't ask me again

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.
