The purpose of this study is to report the results of simple biceps tenotomy for the treatment of bicipital pathology. Thirty shoulders in 30 consecutive patients who had a simple arthroscopic biceps tendon release were reviewed. Data was collected according to the method of the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) shoulder evaluation form. Outcome was assessed with the rating system of the ASES. The mean ASES shoulder score was 81.8. There was a significant reduction in pain and improvement in function after the procedure. The complication rate was 13.3%. Bicipital pathology is a significant cause of morbidity around the shoulder. The results of this study demonstrate that functional outcome as measured by the ASES scoring system can be very good with an arthroscopic biceps tendon release for the treatment of biceps tendon pathology.
