Keyhole Reattachment of the Biceps Tendon

Georgia rates for HCPCS 29828

Keyhole shoulder surgery in which the long biceps tendon is released from its anchor inside the joint and fixed to the upper arm bone instead, taking a common source of front-of-shoulder pain out of the joint. A camera and instruments work through small punctures, and the tendon is held with an anchor or screw. It is often done together with other shoulder repairs.
