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 ...

INTRODUCTION The biceps femoris long head, one of the muscles of the hamstrings group, is one of the most commonly injured lower-limb muscles. Previous studies have suggested that aponeurosis morphology influences injury susceptibility in muscle [1]. In that study, a model of the biceps femoris long head muscle predicted that the width of the muscle’s proximal aponeurosis greatly affects locali...

We dissected 30 cadaveric knees to provide a detailed anatomic description of the biceps femoris muscle complex at the knee. The main components of the long head of the muscle are a reflected arm, a direct arm, an anterior arm, and a lateral and an anterior aponeurosis. The main components of the short head of the biceps femoris muscle are a proximal attachment to the long head's tendon, a caps...

There is increased interest of the orthopedic surgeons in treating the pathology of long head of biceps. Although there is some clarity in the result of biceps tenotomy, it is not so clear concerning tenodesis. An open keyhole tenodesis of biceps is shrouded with concerns of primary stability, use of deltopectoral incision, operative pain, technical difficulty to access biceps tendon in case of...

The hamstring muscle group consists of three muscles in the posterior thigh; the semitendinosus (ST) and the semimembranosus (SM) are located at the medial side, the biceps femoris at the lateral side (BF) [1]. The biceps femoris has two heads, which are anatomically and functionally distinct; the short (BFsh) and the long (BFlh) head. The semitendinosus and long head of the biceps femoris have...

AIM To evaluate brachial biceps tendon lesions in four young female tennis players who complained about anterior shoulder pain on their dominant side. METHODS Medical and sport's activity history, palpation of the painful zone, Ghilchrist (palm-up) test, and brachial biceps contraction against resistance were performed. RESULTS The two girls who suffered from mild tenderness in the bicipita...

Clinical Scenario : Pathologies of the long head biceps brachii (LHB) tendon are a source shoulder pain in many people. It is important to have reliable assessment LHB make an accurate diagnosis and provide correct treatment or referral if necessary. Shoulder ultrasound very rotator cuff tears. However, its ability detect pathologies still unclear. Question In patients with pain, can musculoske...

BACKGROUND Tendinitis can be a presenting complaint in hypothyroidism, with symptomatic relief being obtained by appropriate management of the primary thyroid deficiency. To the best of our knowledge no other cases of spontaneous rupture of the long head of the biceps tendon during uncontrolled hypothyroidism have yet been reported. CASE PRESENTATION This case report describes an unusual case...
