This paper describes the current views on the pathology of lesions of the tendon of the long head of biceps and their management. Their diagnosis is described and their surgical management classified, with details of the techniques employed.

Dislocation of the femoral biceps tendon is rare and is described clinically in the literature as a lateral pain in the knee. It was initially reported as an anomalous insertion of the long head of the femoral biceps. Subsequently, it was found to be caused by abnormal mobility of the tendon over the prominence of the fibular head at certain angles of knee flexion. The objective of the present ...

Whereas arthroscopic superior capsule reconstruction has recently been introduced to treat irreparable rotator cuff tears with encouraging outcomes, graft options and fixation remain debated. The purpose of this article is introduce a modified technique using the long head biceps tendon as augmentation for fascia lata autograft.

The musculature of the hip and thigh in the orangutan has been described previously. Anatomically, there are various descriptions among primates in those structures, in particular, the relationship between M. biceps femoris and M. gluteus maximus, their derivatives, and the muscle segment. However, a detailed innervation system to this ischiofemoral part has not been described, thus there is st...

BACKGROUND While a vast body of literature exists describing biceps tenodesis techniques and evaluating the biomechanical aspects of tenodesis locations or various implants, little literature presents useful clinical outcomes to guide surgeons in their decision to perform a particular method of tenodesis. PURPOSE/HYPOTHESIS To compare the clinical outcomes of open subpectoral biceps tenodesis...

Restoration of elbow flexion in paralytic disorders has taxed the ingenuity of surgeons for half a century. Four types of operation have emerged : 1) proximal transplantation of the flexor or extensor origins of the forearm muscles, or both ; 2) transplantation of triceps to biceps; 3) transplantation of pectoralis major to biceps; and 4) transplantation of sternomastoid to biceps. This communi...

Methods: Twenty fresh-frozen cadaveric shoulders were dissected for analysis. Initial anatomic measurements involving the proximal long head of the biceps tendon (BT) were made, which included: the labral origin to the superior bicipital groove (LO-SBG), the total tendon length (TTL), the musculotendinous junction (MTJ) to the inferior pectoralis major tendon border, the MTJ to the superior pec...

The long head of the biceps (LHB), tendinous structure of the proximal brachial biceps, has its well-known anatomy, which contrasts with its current functional characterization. Various forms of proximal anchor and intra-articular route, important for the correct interpretation of its contribution to the pathology of the shoulder as well as the treatment methodology, are described. Knowledge of...

The purpose of the study was to examine the influence of practice on time to failure of a submaximal contraction with the elbow flexor muscles and on reflex inhibition from brachioradialis afferents onto biceps brachii motor neurons. Fifteen subjects practiced sustaining an isometric contraction (20% of maximum) with the elbow flexors until failure. Spike-triggered stimulation was used to asses...
