Biceps tenodesis is a procedure where the long head of biceps tendon is sutured into the biciptal groove to allow healing of the tendon into the groove. This results in a permanent healing of the tendon into the groove. Total shoulder replacement takes 120 minutes whilst the biceps tenodesis takes 5 minutes.
