This classification was initially proposed by Bigliani et al. Tenodesis is recommended for young (<40 year-old) physically active patients with thin arms or for those with concern for cosmesis. Bone Joint Surg. Isolation movements include cable push-downs, lying triceps extensions and arm extensions behind the back. The LHBT (BT) is normally positioned. The radiological report should include a description of the following 3: distal biceps tendon injury (complete, partial, isolated tear). 6. The issue when pulling is that the biceps generally fatigue faster than the lats, so the lats will get a better workout if the biceps last longer. Failure to adequately address LHBT injuries or instability often results in suboptimal outcomes to conservative therapy or surgery. Normal LHBT (left). Check for errors and try again. Sci. 13 (5): 563-5. 33 Bennett WF. J Shoulder Elb. Tears can be confirmed and further evaluated with soft tissue imaging modalities such as ultrasound and MRI 1-5. Immediately above the lesser tuberosity the humeral contour becomes more flattened and at this level the normal medial course of the LHBT should not be confused with subluxation. J. Unable to process the form. A sagittal T1-weighted fat-suppressed arthrographic image through the lateral aspect of the rotator interval depicts a tear of the SGHL (arrow).

ADVERTISEMENT: Radiopaedia is free thanks to our supporters and advertisers. Calcific tendinitis (also known as calcific tendinopathy or tendonitis) is a self-limiting condition due to the deposition of calcium hydroxyapatite within tendons, usually of the rotator cuff.It is a common presentation of the hydroxyapatite crystal deposition disease (HADD). J Ultrasound. 1998;7(2):A1. It may be seen with or without tendinosis/tendinitis. 16 Furlani J. Electromyographic study of the m. biceps brachii in movements at the glenohumeral joint. By distending the rotator interval, MR arthrography allows more detailed evaluation of the biceps pulley and rotator interval structures which are best seen in the sagittal oblique plane (8a). Accredited GMF-R super-clinic as of June 1st, 2017, we work closely with our public partners, such as the integrated university health and social services 2001;10(3):250-5. Axial proton density-weighted fat-suppressed images at the upper (left) and mid (right) bicipital groove demonstrate extra-articular dislocation of the LHBT(arrow) anterior to the subscapularis(SScT) which remains attached at the lesser tuberosity associated with tear of the supraspinatus extending into the coracohumeral ligament at the lateral aspect of the biceps pulley(arrowheads). Case Connect. MRI plays an important role in evaluating the LHBT and in identifying significant LHBT pathology. What is your diagnosis? Cheng described the arterial supply to LHB tendon as arising from 3 potential sources consisting of branches of the brachial artery entering the tendon at the musculotendinous junction, thoracoacromial artery branches that cross the tendon-bone interface at the glenoid, and a more variable supply via branches of the anterior circumflex humeral artery that travel in a mesotenon to supply the mid-portion of the LHBT5. Two low-signal vertically oriented structures are identified along the normal course of the long head of the biceps tendon within the distal bicipital groove (blue arrow and red arrow). Nevertheless, a persistent blind spot for the arthroscopist is the LHBT within the bicipital groove. J. Arthrosc. Sports Med. Available at: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1058274605800357. Some mnemonics name the carpal bones in a circle, starting with the proximal row from the scaphoid towards the pinky (small finger) and then the distal row starting from the hamate towards the thumb: . Complete arthroscopic examination of the long head of the biceps tendon. [3], With its origin on the scapula, the long head also acts on the shoulder joint and is also involved in retroversion and adduction of the arm. Within the bicipital groove the LHBT typically has a more rounded cross-sectional contour. Type II: Tendon displacement-medial ligament tears alone. 39 Boileau P, Ahrens PM, Hatzidakis AM. Grainger AJ, Tirman PF, Elliott JM, Kingzett-Taylor A, Steinbach LS, Genant HK. The distal biceps tendon can be evaluated with the Hook test by hooking the index finger into the distal biceps tendon from the lateral to the medial aspect. In turn, it permits passive movements only. The LHBT is medially subluxed with a thinned and flattened contour and subtle intrinsic linear signal consistent with a partial tear. Sequential axial T1-weighted fat-suppressed MR arthrogram images progressing from inferior to superior demonstrate the superior subscapularis insertion at the level of the lesser tuberosity (red arrowheads) and the superior-most subscapularis tendon insertion (red arrow) over the upper margin of the lesser tuberosity. While variants of biceps origin are common and typically benign, congenital absence of the long head of the biceps has a higher reported association with other congenital abnormalities and shoulder instability. Am J Sports Med. 13. Shoulder Arthroscopy and MRI Techniques. Magic angle artifact typically involves a short segment of the LHBT with well-defined increased signal on short TE images. The socket of the glenoid fossa of the scapula is itself quite shallow, but it is made deeper by the addition of the glenoid labrum.The glenoid labrum is a ring of cartilaginous fibre attached to the circumference of the cavity. Additional studies demonstrate an increased role for the LHBT as a glenohumeral joint stabilizer in the presence of rotator cuff tears and in the presence of glenohumeral instability20,21. 3 Refior H, Sowa D. Long tendon of the biceps brachii: sites of predilection for degenerative lesions. J. Axial proton density-weighted fat-suppressed images through the bicipital groove (left) and just inferior to the bicipital groove (right) demonstrate partial tears of the LHBT.

Shoulder Elbow Surg. The carpal tunnel contains the following structures, from superficial to deep: Note, the flexor carpi radialisis often wrongly stated to be within the carpal tunnel. With dislocation, the long biceps tendon loses all contact with the bicipital groove. Note the reading on the sphygmomanometer. 3. Tenosynovitis typically demonstrates a fluid distended tendon sheath that is out of proportion to the amount of fluid in the glenohumeral joint and is best depicted on axial proton density or T2-weighted sequences. Res. Relat. 1995;4(6):436-440. 52 Deutch SR, Gelineck J, Johannsen HV, Sneppen O. Complete failure of the biceps at the biceps anchor has been reported in weightlifters44. The LHBT undergoes a rather abrupt angulation of 30 to 40 degrees as it passes through the pulley and into the bicipital groove1. Tendon signal alteration is less consistently related to degeneration, likely in part due to magic angle phenomenon and partial volume artifact related to the curved and oblique course of the tendon over the humeral head and into the intertubercular sulcus. Joints. Additional shoulder pathologies that contribute to weakening of the tendon include external and internal impingement syndromes, rotator cuff tears, SLAP tears, and tendon instability. 2017;11(1):1364-72.

MR Imaging Appearances of Acromioclavicular Joint Dislocation. The indications for tenodesis or tenotomy for biceps tendon injuries include partial tears of the long head of the biceps tendon affecting greater than 25-50% of the tendon diameter, longitudinal tears affecting tendon gliding in the bicipital groove, medial subluxation of the tendon, disruption of the biceps sling, and pain associated with subscapularis tears, massive rotator cuff tears, shoulder arthroplasty, and some SLAP tears49. 2009;37(9):1840-7. The rotator interval structures including the biceps pulley and traversing long head of the biceps tendon are best evaluated with sagittal oblique images (8a). Direct injuries of the rotator interval and biceps pulley may also be caused by acute trauma, repetitive microtrauma, and degenerative change2. Epidemiology. Giuffr B & Moss M.

Static contraction movements include pullovers, straight-arm pulldowns and bent-over lateral raises, which are also used to build the deltoids and latissimus dorsi. Surg. Tendon thickening, flattening, and a reduced caliber are all reliably associated with tendon degeneration. There is edema around the tendon and sometimes the tendon itself will show signal changes. The LHBT has been reported to arise from the rotator cuff and glenohumeral capsule (11a). Clin. 6. de la Fuente J, Blasi M, Martnez S et al.

The axial image confirms a small articular-sided partial thickness tear of the supraspinatus at the far anterior insertion (arrow) with an adjacent tear of the lateral limb of the coracohumeral ligament (arrowheads) allowing contrast extension into the subdeltoid bursa. Sagittal T2-weighted FSE images just lateral to the glenoid articular surface (left) and more laterally at the level of the lesser tuberosity(LT)(right) in the same patient as above demonstrates the posteriorly curving LHBT (arrowheads), located deep to the infraspinatus tendon. Failure of the biceps tendon in young patients is rare. Shoulder Elb. Because of magic angle artifact prevalent at this portion of the LHBT, these injuries are most reliably depicted on T2-weighted, long TE sequences. (2000) AJR. Interpretation. Putz R, Pabst R, editors. Axial MR images demonstrate an empty bicipital groove. Though a similarly named muscle, the triceps surae, is found on the lower leg, the triceps brachii is commonly called the triceps. [1] It is the muscle principally responsible for extension of the elbow joint (straightening of the arm). Thickening and edema of the coracohumeral ligament (asterisk) are suspicious for coexistent adhesive capsulitis. The coronal T2-weighted fat-suppressed image through the anterior humeral head (middle image) demonstrates medial displacement of the LHBT (arrowhead). Mcminn. The SGHL forms a fold of tissue (arrow) from the anterior fused SGHL and CHL (dotted line) and wraps inferior to the LHBT (BT). Intra-articular LHBT injuries include injuries at the origin of the LHBT or within the rotator interval. 2021;25(4):566-73. Small tears of the superior subscapularis may be identified on T2-weighted images as small fluid-containing tendon defects at the medial margin of the biceps pulley offering a clue to potential biceps pulley injury and LHBT instability (25a). MRI Examination of the Elbow. 11. Accessory heads of the biceps brachii are common, ranging from 9.1-22.9% depending on the ethnic group, being most common in the Asian population. J. Arthrosc. Several classifications have been proposed for patterns of biceps instability. A Case Report*. Extra-articular LHBT pathology occurs in the bicipital groove from mechanical insults to the LHBT associated with subluxation, dislocation, and constriction of the bicipital groove and results in tenosynovitis, tendinosis, and LHBT tears. The distal biceps tendon can be examined from a medial longitudinal position with the forearm supinated and the elbow in a 20-30 flexed position 7,8. Transection of the long and short head muscle bellies has been reported in military parachutists resulting from forced abduction of the arm against a static line45. [6] However, more recent studies observed that in around 14% of individuals the long head of the triceps brachii was innervated by the axillary nerve, and in 3% it received dual innervation from both the radial nerve and axillary nerve. 2 Ahrens PM, Boileau P.

The synovial membrane is part of a fluid-filled sheath that surrounds a tendon. Classification. The tendon is intra-articular but extrasynovial, with a surrounding synovial-lined sheath that communicates with the glenohumeral joint and extends into the bicipital groove. The biceps tendon dislocates anteriorly becoming located anterior to the intact subscapularis tendon. Complete tears of the biceps are indicated by absence of tendon within the bicipital groove (32a). Relat. 2. An abnormal test indicates a distal biceps tendon injury 1,2.

In all instances, correlation with orthogonal views provides important confirmatory and complementary information. Am. The medial head is formed predominantly by small type I fibers and motor units, the lateral head of large type IIb fibers and motor units and the long head of a mixture of fiber types and motor units. The remaining intact fibers of the subscapularis tendon (asterisk) prevent intra-articular dislocation of the LHBT. Examples of compound elbow extension include pressing movements like the push up, bench press, close grip bench press (flat, incline or decline), military press and dips. This joint may be fused as an alternative to scapholunate fusion in treatment for certain wrist instability syndromes, or as a Measurement. Surg. Tenosynovitis is a term describing the inflammation of the synovial membrane surrounding a tendon. A linear focus containing contrast (arrow) is demonstrated at the anterior aspect of the supraspinatus tendon (SST) insertion near its junction with the biceps pulley. American journal of roentgenology. 2005;15(3):159-62. MRI arthrography is better suited for directly visualizing the biceps pulley anatomy and structures of the rotator interval because of the ability to distend and displace the rotator interval structures away from the glenohumeral joint. 2001;17(8):864-868. Other clinical tests include the biceps crease interval and supination-pronation test. J Am Acad Orthop Surg. Rupture of the LHBT is usually noticed as an audible pop, often with immediate resolution of previous anterior shoulder pain22. The 70 degree arthroscope allows improved visualization of the bicipital groove and subscapularis insertion. Surgical treatment is necessary for patients with LHBT pathology that remain symptomatic after nonoperative therapeutic measures. This tests spinal nerves C6 and C7, predominantly C7.[11]. With dislocations, pain and tenderness are more medial over the lesser tuberosity. North Am. Keith L. Moore, A. M. R. Agur, Arthur F. Dalley. 2.

Partial and complete tears of the LHBT typically occur along a hypovascular segment of the LHBT found 1.2-3 cm from the tendon origin extending from the intra-articular portion of the tendon at the mid humeral head level into the superior portion of the intertubercular sulcus5. Mnemonics of the carpal bones are numerous and useful for memorizing the order and location of the bones.. Furthermore, coexisting shoulder pathology may be related to LHBT pathology or may be incidental24. The medial structure (blue arrows) follows a more typical course for the long head of the biceps tendon toward the superior glenoid and appears thickened and increased in signal at the anterior superior aspect of the glenohumeral joint (upper blue arrow). The lateral radiograph of the elbow might show abnormal soft tissue shadowing with Popeye deformity 3. Function of the long head of the biceps at the shoulder: electromyographic analysis. No associated tear of the subscapularis tendon was identified. Although the classification of biceps instability provides valuable information regarding pathogenesis, at present this information results in little modification of the clinical decision-making and surgical approach to treating the unstable LHBT. This is frequently brought about by lesions within the bicipital groove, such as a narrowed bicipital groove or may be seen with younger individuals associated with overuse. This complex attaches at the lesser and greater tuberosities forming a sling around the LHBT as it enters the bicipital groove and acting as a pulley to buttress the LHBT medially as it undergoes a bend to enter the bicipital groove. 2005;87(7):1584-6.

Gross anatomy The acromioclavicular joint is between the small facet of the convex distal clavicle and flat anteromedial acromion. In addition SLAP tears are also associated with rotator interval lesions and medial biceps pulley lesions25,26. LHBT injuries account for 96% of all biceps brachii injuries including the distal tendon at the elbow and the short head43. Subluxation and dislocation of the LHBT occur with damage to the biceps pulley, and are most commonly associated with tears of the subscapularis and supraspinatus tendons.

A Comprehensive Review of the Normal, Abnormal, and Post-Operative MRI Appearance of the Distal Biceps Brachii. Axial proton density-weighted fat-suppressed images at the inferior bicipital groove (far left)and superior to the bicipital groove (middle left) demonstrate the LHBT within the bicipital groove (arrow) which can be followed superiorly to the anterior supraspinatus and capsular region. Tamborrini G, UZR, Ultrasound Center and Institute for Rheumatology, EULAR Network of Imaging Center, Basel, Switzerland, Mller-Gerbl M et al. J. These latter findings suggest a passive role of the LHBT with motion at the shoulder in the absence of loading from forearm or elbow activity17. The main part of the scapula, the body, consists of a somewhat triangular-shaped flat blade, with an inferiorly pointing apex, referred to as the inferior angle as well as lateral and superior angles. The LHBT is 5-6 mm in diameter and approximately 10 cm in length with the musculotendinous junction found deep to the pectoralis major tendon4.

[7][8], A tendinous arch is frequently the origin of the long head and the tendon of latissimus dorsi. Bridging fibers from the subscapularis to the greater tuberosity remain intact. This pattern has a high association with partial or full-thickness tears of the supraspinatus tendon. 19. 8. Three different colors represent three different bundles which compose triceps. 3. When is not completely dislocated off the bicipital groove it is then termed subluxation of the long head of biceps tendon.. 3-5 cm of the LHBT can be pulled into the joint and inspected during arthroscopy, allowing only partial visualization of the tendon in the groove48. Imaging Clin. A case report. (Arthroscopic Images courtesy of Dr. Allen Anderson, Tennessee Orthopaedic Alliance). Complete rupture of the LHBT is most common in males aged 50 and older43 and most commonly occurs in the bicipital groove or just proximal to the goove24. (Basel). 1996;78(11):1749-52. Repetitive traction as is seen in overhead sports may account for the proximal tendon degenerative changes seen at the biceps anchor and may represent precursors to SLAP lesions3. Orthop. Not surprisingly, subscapularis tears are most commonly associated with LHBT instability. 43 Carter AN, Erickson SM. Anat. Because of frequent pre-existing LHBT pathology, complete rupture may occur from relatively minor trauma. With tendon rupture, distal retraction of the long head of the biceps muscle and tendon result in the characteristic Popeye deformity with accompanying ecchymosis, if acute. Skeletal Radiol. Relat. Am J Sports Med. Clyde A. Helms. 2004;182(4):944-6. 2.

Incidental and asymptomatic anomalous origin of the LHBT in a 19 year-old female who was injured while lifting weights. It has been suggested that the long head fascicle is employed when sustained force generation is demanded, or when there is a need for a synergistic control of the shoulder and elbow or both. This phenomenon was described as slingshot displacement of the biceps brachii muscle. In the setting of an hourglass tendon, the intra-articular portion of the tendon is resected to allow distal retraction. The long biceps tendon arises from the supraglenoid tubercle and partly from the superior glenoid labrum (7a). Gray's Basic Anatomy: with STUDENT CONSULT Online Access (Grays Anatomy for Students). In general, tenotomy is recommended for older patients who are more sedentary, patients with obese arms, or patients unconcerned with cosmesis. Am. While injuries of the long biceps tendon can be the result of a single traumatic event, they most often occur due to repetitive microtrauma and degeneration.

Arthroscopic appearance of tendon degeneration. Hyperintense signal area within the tendon on T2W, fat-suppressed, intermediate-weighted and GRE sequences, usually matches to fluid signal. Fat-suppressed axial proton density-weight images at the level of the bicipital groove (left) and distal to the bicipital groove (middle) and fat-suppressed T2-weighted coronal oblique view (right) in a 51 year-old male complaining of swelling and bruising in the upper arm after feeling a pop with heavy lifting 2 weeks prior. Surg. Conditions that might mimic the imaging appearance of a distal biceps tendon injury include 3,4: ADVERTISEMENT: Supporters see fewer/no ads, Please Note: You can also scroll through stacks with your mouse wheel or the keyboard arrow keys. Careful inspection of the images confirms that the tendon is not dislocated. 30 Nho SJ, Strauss EJ, Lenart BA, et al. A rare presentation of posterior dislocation of the LHBT (23a,24a) may be seen associated with anterior glenohumeral dislocations and with fractures of the greater tuberosity. Bursal sided insertional partial tear of the anterior supraspinatus tendon, insertional partial tear of the superior-most subscapularis tendon, medial subluxation of the long head of the biceps tendon with moderately severe intra-articular tendinosis. As in the test case, LHBT injuries are rarely an isolated injury and are frequently accompanied by significant shoulder pathology. The alteration of the tendon signal is more apparent in the image on the right, however this partial tear likely lies beyond the region of tendon that can be evaluated at arthroscopy. It can also fixate the elbow joint when the forearm and hand are used for fine movements, e.g., when writing. Abduction and internal rotation of the arm allows visualization of the subscapularis insertion and footprint47. A complete rupture of the LHBT is commonly accompanied by a Popeye deformity, a characteristic bulge over the anterior lateral aspect of the proximal arm that results from distal retraction of the LHB tendon and muscle. Full-thickness tears are easier to diagnose on MRI than partial-thickness tears 2. 2. Bone Joint Surg. Orthop. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is one of the procedures used in examining the joints (1).. Common elbow afflictions are associated with sports injuries (2).Joint disorders and injuries, such as fractures, sprains, arthritis, dislocation, and bursitis (bone cushion disorder), are diagnosed using MRI scans.. Anatomy of the Elbow Injuries of the LHBT at the rotator interval may result from the repetitive mechanical stresses of internal and external impingement. Various schemes have been proposed to classify LHBT injuries with no clearly unified classification system. 3. Intratendinous increased T2 signal may be seen within partial tears (31a). Traumatol.

To provide the highest quality clinical and technology services to customers and patients, in the spirit of continuous improvement and innovation. Earlier electromyographic studies have attributed a relatively weak abduction force to the LHB at the shoulder16, while more recent studies have shown that when elbow and forearm motion are eliminated, there is virtually no activity in the long head of the biceps tendon with motion at the shoulder17,18. J. However more recent studies suggest that the nonoperative treatment of LHBT rupture may not be completely benign, especially in younger patients.

Consequently, a diagnosis of LHBT injury by physical examination is frequently inconclusive or masked by accompanying shoulder injuries. Semin Musculoskelet Radiol. Indian J. Orthop. The subcoracoid bursais located anterior to subscapularis and beneath the coracoid process and extends caudal to the conjoined tendons of coracobrachialis and short head of biceps brachii.Fluid in the subcoracoid bursa does not normally communicate with the glenohumeral joint but may communicate with the subacromial bursa. Sportsmed. Most commonly the superior subscapularis tendon demonstrates a full-thickness tear while the lower portion of the tendon remains attached along the inferior portion of the lesser tuberosity and surgical neck. Am. The tendon of the long head of the biceps is innervated by a network of sensory and sympathetic fibers that are asymmetrically distributed with a higher concentration of innervating fibers at the tendon origin. The " neutral " grip is just somewhere in between. It is seen in about 5% of biceps injuries. The arterial supply of the long head of biceps tendon: Anatomical study with implications for tendon rupture. Laterally this fold of the SGHL attaches along with the superior subscapularis tendon under the LHBT at the upper margin of the lesser tuberosity (blue line) forming a layer between the LHBT (BT) and subscapularis (SScT).

Focal partial tears of the long head of the biceps brachii tendon at the entrance to the bicipital groove: MR imaging findings, surgical correlation, and clinical significance. What are the findings? Interruption and irregularity of the superior glenohumeral ligament, coracohumeral ligament and subtle alterations in the position of the LHBT on sagittal images are helpful in identifying subtle biceps pulley tears (26a). The dislocated tendon may be seen anterior to the subscapularis tendon (20a), within an intratendinous tear of the subscapularis tendon (21a), or deep to the subscapularis tendon in an intra-articular location (22a). 11 SMITH E, MATZKIN E.

Biceps activity during shoulder motion: an electromyographic analysis. Distal biceps tendon injuries are far less common than injuries to the proximal biceps tendon with an incidence of approximately 1.2/100000 1,2.They typically occur in middle-aged men with a peak at around 50 years of age 1-3.. Risk factors Available at: http://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S1058274603002568. 1976;96:270-284. Since the long head originates in the pelvis it is involved in hip extension. In addition, tendon quality may be affected by systemic diseases and aging37. Nguyen M, Rosenthal J, Karas S et al. 2009;11(3):235. Distal biceps tendon injury. Extra-articular structures that contribute to LHBT stability include the transverse humeral ligament, the pectoralis major muscle and tendon, and the bicipital groove. Res. 1. 2. Instead, increasing focus has been placed on the role of the biceps pulley mechanism in maintaining LHBT stability. The brachial plexus is a complex neural network formed by lower cervical and upper thoracic ventral nerve roots which supplies motor and sensory innervation to the upper limb and pectoral girdle.It is located in the neck extending into the axilla posterior to the clavicle. Walch described 4 types of biceps dislocations29. This anatomic configuration serves to lengthen the channel of the LHBT superiorly from the intertubercular groove.

Less commonly congenital absence of the LHBT may occur without associated congenital anomalies or shoulder instability12. Usually it is the long head of the biceps that is completely torn. The structures that contribute to intra-articular stability of the long biceps tendon include the glenoid labrum and capsuloligamentous structures of the glenohumeral joint, the structures of the rotator interval including the coracohumeral and superior glenohumeral ligaments, and the supraspinatus and subscapularis tendons. The triceps can be worked through either isolation or compound elbow extension movements and can contract statically to keep the arm straightened against resistance. 2010;19(1):58-64. For patients presenting with a cosmetic deformity from LHBT rupture, biceps muscle spasm is common initially with resolution of pain and spasm after 6-8 weeks, with little residual dysfunction of the LHBT49,50. 2nd ed. The normal LHBT can withstand a high tensile force of 667 to 890 newtons40,41. Skeletal Radiol. 2010;92(11):2128-38. 2008;24(9):997-1004. Partial and complete tears are characterized by partial or complete tendon discontinuity or detachment and/or peritendinous effusion with or without fiber retraction, whereas other alterations of the tendon without any evidence of fiber disruption (such as mere loss of the fibrillary pattern) indicate minor injuries as tendinopathy or elongation injury 5. Recent anatomic and histologic studies emphasize the importance of the superior insertion of the subscapularis tendon in preventing medial LHBT instability27,28. 1994;3(6):353-60. Orthop. A coronal oblique T2-weighted fat-suppressed image slightly more anterior to image A demonstrates divergence of the 2 vertically oriented structures. 2012;57:76-89. (2018) ISBN: 9780323611664 -. Frequently complete rupture may relieve pain associated with pre-existing tendinosis or a partial LHBT tear. The thinner lateral structure maintains a more vertical orientation (red arrows). Conservative, non-operative management is usually associated with significant declines in supination and elbow flexion strength and therefore reserved for patients with either strain and/or partial tears, significant peri-operative risks or low functional demands 1. Distal biceps tendon injuries usually occur in a weakened tendon during eccentric loading with the elbow in flexion and full supination 1. ScienceMnemonic - An Easy Way To Memorize Your Science Knowledge Using Mnemonics, Pictures, Visuals, Acronyms, Usage, Examples, Or Word Games.. Connective Tissue and Fascicles. There are three types of disc 8-11: A weak, synovium-lined joint capsule is attached to the articular margins and is reinforced superiorly by blending fibers of the trapezius muscle 6. Arthrosc. Chew M & Giuffr B. J. Arthrosc. Bifurcated origins have been described including tendon origins from the supraglenoid tubercle and posterior superior labrum, a bifid tendon originating from the supraglenoid tubercle, and tendon origins from the rotator cable and the scapula without an origin from the superior labrum or glenoid8. Within the bicipital groove the deeper, sliding surface of the tendon is avascular and composed of fibrocartilage2. The carpal bones, also known as the carpus (plural: carpi), are the eight bones of the wrist that form the articulation of the forearm with the hand.They are usually divided into two rows: proximal row. Available at: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15995127. 2008;28(2):463-79; quiz 619. Contrast extends into the subdeltoid bursa (asterisk) indicating communication across a rotator cuff or rotator interval defect. Mainly through cadaveric studies the LHBT has been variably characterized as a depressor of the humeral head, an anterior stabilizer, a posterior stabilizer, a limiter of external rotation, a lifter of the glenoid labrum, and a head compressor of the shoulder. Overhead activities may exacerbate symptoms. (2003) ISBN:B0084AQDG8. Measurement. The primary medial stabilizers are the medial limbs of the superior glenohumeral and coracohumeral ligaments and the subscapularis tendon. Available at: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17931909. Case 4: minor distal biceps tendon injury. 10. The tendon is smallest in caliber as it exits the bicipital groove3. The LHBT is subjected to traction, pressure, friction, and shearing forces along its intra- and extra-articular course36, and the effects are hastened in the setting of overuse and instability. 8. This particular LHBT injury has been named the groove entry lesion42. The triceps is an extensor muscle of the elbow joint and an antagonist of the biceps and brachialis muscles. 5. If left untreated a distal biceps tendon injury can lead to atrophy and fatty degeneration of the biceps muscle with a reduction in elbow flexion and/or forearm supination strength 1.
