Question

Proximal tenodesis can be done arthroscopically using all of the following techniques/products except which one?

A. SwiveLock.
B. TightRope.
C. BioComposite Screw.
D. PEEK Interference Screw.

Answer 1

PEEK Interference Screw is the product that cannot be used for arthroscopic proximal tenodesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Proximal tenodesis is a surgical technique used to stabilize the biceps tendon. Arthroscopic proximal tenodesis can be done using various techniques and products. Out of the options given, PEEK Interference Screw is the product that cannot be used for arthroscopic proximal tenodesis.

1. SwiveLock: This is a type of implant used for soft tissue fixation, which could be used for arthroscopic proximal tenodesis.

2. TightRope: This is another type of implant used for soft tissue fixation, which could be used for arthroscopic proximal tenodesis.

3. BioComposite Screw: This is a bioresorbable screw used for fixation, which could be used for arthroscopic proximal tenodesis.

4. PEEK Interference Screw: PEEK stands for polyether ether ketone, and it is a type of synthetic material. PEEK interference screw is not typically used for arthroscopic proximal tenodesis.
