J Small Anim Pract. 2003 Dec;44(12):539-40. doi: 10.1111/j.1748-5827.2003.tb00117.x.

Abstract

This report describes two dogs with bilateral bicipital tenosynovitis which were managed using double tenodesis. Surgical repair involved the attachment of the tendon to the humerus with a bone screw and plastic spiked washer, and a double Bunnell-Meyer suture. Six months postoperatively, neither of the treated dogs displayed any lameness on clinical examination.
