Buford complex is a congenital glenoid labrum variant where the anterosuperior labrum is absent in the 1-3 o'clock position and the middle glenohumeral ligament is thickened (cord-like). Correlation of the SLAP lesion with lesions of the medial sheath of the biceps tendon and intra-articular subscapularis tendon. Lasts Anatomy Regional and Applied. Within the bicipital groove the deeper, sliding surface of the tendon is avascular and composed of fibrocartilage2. The initial findings of biceps instability are subtle, depicted by only minor displacement or shift of the LHBT within the bicipital groove and may be difficult to demonstrate by imaging or arthroscopy. Frequently complete rupture may relieve pain associated with pre-existing tendinosis or a partial LHBT tear. Subscapularis, medial, and lateral head coracohumeral ligament insertion anatomy. 10 Franco JC, Knapp TP, Mandelbaum BR. 2010;23(6):683-692. J. Lesions within the distal bicipital groove and beyond will not be seen. Scand. in 1986 11. The long head of biceps tendon is usually located inferiorly in the bicipital groove held there by the The LHBT is identified at the posterior aspect of the humeral head and at the posterior lateral aspect of the proximal humeral shaft (arrowheads). In addition, tendon quality may be affected by systemic diseases and aging37. J. Knee Surgery, Sport. Shoulder Elb.

The LHBT has been reported to arise from the rotator cuff and glenohumeral capsule (11a). 2005;87:1580-1583. 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). Both cadaveric and electromyographic studies suggest a range of functions served by the LHBT. The triceps can be worked through either isolation or compound elbow extension movements and can contract statically to keep the arm straightened against resistance. MR arthrography typically depicts a well-defined proximal superior glenohumeral ligament and a distal superior glenohumeral fold that helps to form the biceps pulley (7a,8a). Lesions of the biceps pulley: diagnostic accuracy of MR arthrography of the shoulder and evaluation of previously described and new diagnostic signs. MR arthrogram axial fat-suppressed T1-weighted image through the superior glenohumeral joint demonstrates the superior glenohumeral ligament (SGHL) arising from the supraglenoid and anterior labrum and its course anteriorly to fuse with the coracohumeral ligament (CHL). Relat. Devereaux M & ElMaraghy A. The spinoglenoid notch lies posteriorly behind the neck. 4. With acute ruptures edema tracks distally ventral to the proximal humerus. As it passes anteriorly and laterally to the bicipital groove, the intra-articular portion of the LHBT is cradled and stabilized by the superior glenohumeral ligament (SGHL) and coracohumeral ligament (CHL), which fuse along the lateral half of the rotator interval with fibers from the subscapularis and supraspinatus to form the biceps pulley (8a). 20 Su W-R, Budoff JE, Luo Z-P. 1967;49:1016. The coracohumeral ligament (CHL) is the most superficial layer of the biceps pulley mechanism and extends over the subscapularis (SScT) and supraspinatus (SST) tendons. Most tears are complete and affect both tendons. 7, ADVERTISEMENT: Supporters see fewer/no ads, Please Note: You can also scroll through stacks with your mouse wheel or the keyboard arrow keys.

Histological and molecular analysis of the biceps tendon long head post-tenotomy. Gross anatomy The acromioclavicular joint is between the small facet of the convex distal clavicle and flat anteromedial acromion. The accessory tendon can be followed superiorly along a different course than the LHBT into the region of the anterior supraspinatus. The LHBT (BT) is normally positioned. A proximal biceps tendon tear is more common. More laterally, the palmaris longus is attached to the superficial surface. 55 year-old female with chronic shoulder pain. 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.

The superior glenohumeral ligament fuses with the CHL laterally and forms a ligament layer between the biceps tendon (BT) and the superior-most inserting subscapularis tendon (SScT) at the lesser tuberosity (LT). The LHBT (arrowhead) is medially dislocated into an intrasubstance tear of the superiorly inserting subscapularis tendon (arrow). (2003) ISBN:B0084AQDG8. Tendinosis may result in increased T1, T2, and proton-density weighted signal changes, or the tendon may demonstrate normal signal (29a). AJR Am J Roentgenol. Am J Sports Med.

Damage of the supporting biceps pulley mechanism leads to LHBT instability and is most closely associated with subscapularis tendon tears. Available at: http://radiology.rsna.org/content/235/1/21.short. 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. It is in this region however, that very small tears of the superior-most subscapularis tendon insertion may be seen. Posteriorly, the scapula is divided into a supraspinous fossa and infraspinous fossa by the scapular spine. 1988;228:233-9. 2009;18(1):122-9. 12. Relat. 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). Shoulder . 1. Beazley J, Lawrence T, Drew S, Modi C. Distal Biceps and Triceps Injuries. Thickening and edema of the coracohumeral ligament (asterisk) are suspicious for coexistent adhesive capsulitis. A partial intrasubstance tear of the subscapularis tendon allows the biceps tendon to dislocate medially without entering the joint because of intact deep fibers of the subscapularis tendon. 2002;31(8):452-454. LHBT injuries account for 96% of all biceps brachii injuries including the distal tendon at the elbow and the short head43. 2. This results in the narrowest and weakest part of the distal humerus is placed under stress. Isolation movements include cable push-downs, lying triceps extensions and arm extensions behind the back. [2], All three heads of the triceps brachii are classically believed to be innervated by the radial nerve. Partial tendon tears are depicted by an abrupt, often severe reduction in tendon caliber and irregularity of the tendon contour. Based on imaging features distal biceps tendon injuries can facilitate the classification of major and minor tendon injuries 2,6,7: complete tear or tendon rupture: complete tendon disruption and loss of the distal attachment, intact lacertus fibrosus (direct visual confirmation on imaging or retraction gap <8 cm), torn lacertus fibrosus (direct visual confirmation on imaging retraction gap >8 cm), high-grade partial tear: discontinuity involving >50% of the biceps tendon, low-grade partial tear: discontinuity involving <50% of the biceps tendon, strain or tendinopathy: altered tendon signal or fiber pattern without evidence of discontinuity. 2020;40(5):1355-82. 43 Carter AN, Erickson SM.

Musculotendinous Disorders in the Upper Extremity: Part 2. The long biceps tendon arises from the supraglenoid tubercle and partly from the superior glenoid labrum (7a). In general, tenotomy is recommended for older patients who are more sedentary, patients with obese arms, or patients unconcerned with cosmesis. The role of the transverse humeral ligament, once thought to be a major contributor to stability of the LHBT, has been deemphasized. {"url":"/signup-modal-props.json?lang=us\u0026email="}, Jarvis M, Bickle I, Hacking C, et al. Relat. 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. The more recently described Type X lesion consists of a superior labral tear extending into the SGHL. 2000;9(6):483-90. 27 Arai R, Mochizuki T, Yamaguchi K, et al.

Three different colors represent three different bundles which compose triceps. In the horse, 84%, 15%, and 3% of the total triceps muscle weight correspond to the long, lateral and medial heads, respectively.[12]. It lies between the lateral and medial heads. 1. 2014;202(2):375-85. Pathology of the long head of the biceps (LHB) tendon is a frequent cause of pain. Moore KL, Agur AMR, Dalley AF. Applied Radiological Anatomy. Clinical signs might inconsistently include bruising over the medial aspect of the elbow or an abnormal contour of the distal biceps 1. Salter E, Nasca R, Shelley B. Anatomical Observations on the Acromioclavicular Joint and Supporting Ligaments. Skeletal Radiol. [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. It is sometimes called a three-headed muscle (Latin literally three-headed, tri - three, and ceps, from caput - head), because there are three bundles of muscles, each of different origins, joining at the elbow. The course of the LHBT moves from a dislocated intra-articular position superiorly to an extra-articular location anterior to the intact subscapularis fibers inferiorly. Achilles tendon tears are the most common ankle tendon injuries, with microtears to full thickness tendon tears of the Achilles tendon and are most commonly seen secondary to sports-related injury, especially squash and basketball. 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. 19. 2020;49(11):1695-707. Gross anatomy Osteology. This axial fat-suppressed proton density-weighted image through the bicipital groove demonstrates focally increased signal involving the superiorly-most inserting subscapularis tendon (arrowhead) with a flattened and medially subluxed long head of the biceps tendon (blue arrow). Shoulder. Available at: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/649641. Other reported abnormalities in patients with congenital absence of the LHBT include VATER syndrome11, congenital limb abnormalities, multidirectional instability, and glenoid dysplasia with posterior instability. Subcoracoid bursa. Skeletal Radiol. 2017;21(4):376-91. In addition SLAP tears are also associated with rotator interval lesions and medial biceps pulley lesions25,26. J. LHBT injury has been broadly classified into intrinsic tendon degeneration, mechanical causes including instability, and traumatic causes2. Recent anatomic and histologic studies emphasize the importance of the superior insertion of the subscapularis tendon in preventing medial LHBT instability27,28. 23 Ben Kibler W, Sciascia AD, Hester P, Dome D, Jacobs C. Clinical utility of traditional and new tests in the diagnosis of biceps tendon injuries and superior labrum anterior and posterior lesions in the shoulder. 8 Wittstein J, Lassiter Jr. T, Taylor D. Aberrant origin of the long head of the biceps: a case series.

Subsequent symptoms include pain and weakness in elbow flexion and/or forearm supination 1,2. Full-thickness tears are easier to diagnose on MRI than partial-thickness tears 2. Arthrosc. A dramatic presentation of displacement of the proximal biceps muscle has been reported in wakeboarders when a slackened towrope suddenly becomes taut while being gripped with flexed elbows. In the setting of an hourglass tendon, the intra-articular portion of the tendon is resected to allow distal retraction. Clin. Visualization of the subscapularis tendon and its footprint on the lesser tuberosity is best performed through a posterior viewing portal. 15 Gheno R, Zoner CS, Buck FM, et al. The acromioclavicular joint space measures 1-6 mm (females) and 1-7 mm (males), decreasing with age 12.. MRI with or without intra-articular contrast is the preferred imaging modality for evaluating the intra-articular and extra-articular LHBT and the adjacent structures of the shoulder7. 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. Tenodesis may be performed arthroscopically or as an open procedure depending on the site of fixation. J. trapezium; trapezoid; capitate; hamate; The names and order of these bones can be remembered through various The shape of the acromion had been initially divided into three types (which was known as the Bigliani classification) 3, to which a fourth has been added 2.They are used as a standardized way of describing the acromion, as well as predicting to a degree the incidence of impingement.. Ultrasound Classification of Traumatic Distal Biceps Brachii Tendon Injuries. Because of the close proximity and interdigitation of the structures that contribute to the biceps pulley, stability is affected by nearby tears of the bordering subscapularis and supraspinatus tendons that extend to involve structures of the biceps pulley29,30. Rupture at the LHBT musculotendinous junction has also been seen in weightlifters and correlated with anabolic steroid use24. 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. Sprengel deformity, or congenital elevation of the scapula, is a complex deformity of the shoulder and is the most common congenital shoulder abnormality.An initial diagnosis can often be made on radiographs, but CT or MRI is often necessary to evaluate the details of the abnormality. 9. Type VI: Intra-articular tendon dislocation-tear of the medial limbs of the ligaments and detachment of the subscapularis from the lesser tuberosity. Clinically oriented anatomy. When using a neutral grip , you'll work the lats better than while using a pronated grip , but not as good as while using a supinated grip. Check for errors and try again. 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. Note the reading on the sphygmomanometer. Axial T1-weighted fat-suppressed (left), coronal oblique T1-weighted (middle), and sagittal oblique T1-weighted fat-suppressed MR arthrographic images demonstrate a second tendinous structure(arrowhead) located anterior to the LHBT(arrow) within the bicipital groove. Symptoms of LHBT pathology are variable. Available at: http://www.biomedcentral.com/content/pdf/ar2723.pdf. 1997;13(4):499-501. Extra-articular structures that contribute to LHBT stability include the transverse humeral ligament, the pectoralis major muscle and tendon, and the bicipital groove. Because of frequent pre-existing LHBT pathology, complete rupture may occur from relatively minor trauma. 1963;43(6):1541-50. 33 Bennett WF. Small linear opacities may be seen dorsal to the summits of the spinous processes in the thoracic region, which are associated with tearing of the attachment of the supraspinous ligament.

The triceps, or triceps brachii (Latin for "three-headed muscle of the arm"), is a large muscle on the back of the upper limb of many vertebrates. 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. 2018;47(4):519-32.

Available at: http://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S1058274604000187. Attempts at repair of the biceps pulley injury have met with limited success, and since there are few surgical options, most of these patients undergo tenodesis or tenotomy of the LHBT and repair of the associated rotator cuff tendon pathology. (2011) ISBN: 0781799155 -, 7. Physical examination is unreliable in the diagnosis of LHBT pathology. Magic angle artifact is most common just before the entrance of the tendon into the intertubercular groove where the tendon and collagen fibers are closest to the magic angle of 55 degrees relative to the main magnetic field. 1997;(336):122-9.
