Biceps tenotomy (BT) is a common surgery used to address anterior shoulder pain and joint dysfunction in humans. Using animal models to simulate human conditions is an effective and essential research strategy to further understand histologic and biomechanical processes that occur after BT, including the pathology of the detached biceps, secondary tendinopathic conditions of the rotator cuffs, and glenohumeral functional changes. This Technical Note presents a comprehensive step-by-step description of an arthroscopic BT procedure in rabbits. This technique is particularly beneficial, as the mini-invasive arthroscopic technique in a rabbit model is similar to that performed in humans. which resulted in less scarring and injuries to other adjacent structures in comparison with open surgery.
肱二头肌切断术（BT）是一种用于治疗人类肩部前部疼痛和关节功能障碍的常见手术。使用动物模型模拟人类情况是进一步了解BT术后发生的组织学和生物力学过程的有效且必要的研究策略，这些过程包括肱二头肌离断的病理学、肩袖继发性肌腱病情况以及盂肱关节功能变化。本技术说明全面逐步描述了兔关节镜下BT手术。该技术特别有益，因为兔模型中的微创关节镜技术与人类实施的技术相似，与开放手术相比，其瘢痕形成较少，对其他相邻结构的损伤也较小。
