He could not recall the onset of injury, but endorsed several weeks of antecedent intermittent right shoulder discomfort. Examination revealed a deformity of the right biceps brachii with distal bunching of the muscle (Figure). Tenderness existed along the proxima...

Snapping biceps femoris tendon (BFT) over the fibular head is an uncommon cause of lateral knee pain, with few case reports in the literature.1–12 Reported causes include anomalous tendon insertion, tears at the tendon insertion site, abnormality of the fibular head, and tendon subluxation despite normal anatomy. When nonoperative management fails, various surgical treatment techniques have bee...

We have previously shown that the neurovascular anatomy and length of the long head of biceps femoris (LHBF) is suitable for its possible use in the creation of a dynamic perianal myoplasty to restore faecal continence. If intramuscular arterioarterial anastomoses exist between a muscle's vascular pedicles then the delay procedure, i.e. ligating the vascular pedicles to the transposed section o...
