Study Of The Variant Origin Of Long Head Of Biceps Brachii

Objectives: The objective of this study is to identify and categorize the variations in origin of tendon of long headof biceps brachii (LHBB).Methods: The study was carried out on 60 upper limbs of cadaver in the Anatomy department, SMBT IMS & RC,Nashik, India. After exposing the glenoid fossa, we find out the origin of tendon of LHBB from the supraglenoidtubercle and the adjoining glenoid labrum. Labrum is divided into anterior and posterior part.Results: In 11 specimens origin of LHBB was seen from supraglenoid tubercle only, Other specimens has dualorigin of LHBB along with Glenoid labrum. We classified it according to Vangsness et al. Type I: The labralattachment is entirely posterior, with no contribution to anterior labrum, seen in 31 specimens. Type II: Thetendon attached mainly to the posterior part of the Glenoid labrum with also extended up to the anterior labrum,seen in 16 specimens. Type III: There are equal contribution to both the anterior and posterior parts of thelabrum, found in only 2 specimens. Type IV: Most of the labral contribution is anterior, with a small contributionto the posterior labrum. No specimen found.Conclusion: Anatomical variation in origin of LHBB help us to explain the correlation of recurrent shoulderdislocation and labral detachment.This knowledge is necessary to avoid errors in shoulder arthroscopy,radiological investigations and surgical repair

Three Cases of Rare Anatomic Variations of the Long Head of Biceps Brachii

In general, the long head of the biceps brachii originates from the superior glenoid labrum and the supraglenoid tubercle, crosses the rotator cuff interval, and extends into the bicipital groove. However, rare anatomic variations of the origins of the long head have been reported in the past. In this report, we review the clinical history, radiologic findings, and arthroscopic identifications of 3 anatomic variants of the biceps tendon long head. As the detection of long head of biceps tendon pathology during preoperative radiologic assessment can be difficult without prior knowledge, surgeons should be aware of such possible anatomic variations.

Tenodesis of Long Head of the Biceps Brachii Tendon with Bioabsorbable Interference Screw

Purpose: This study reports the clinical results of the tenodesis of long head of the Biceps brachii tendon with bioabsorbable interference screw by minimal open procedure. Materials and Methods: Ten cases of 10 patients (7 male, 3 female) were included in this study. The average age was 45.8 years old and the average period from the symptom onset to operation was 13.7 months. Average preoperative ASES score was 38.5. The causes of injury was; sports activities in 4 patients, unknown in 4 patients, industrial accident in 1 patient and traffic accident in 1 patient. The average follow up period was 12.1 months. Tenodesis with bioabsorbable interference screw by minimal open precedure was performed in all cases. Results: The ASES score improved to 87.5 at last follow up period and 6 cases had full range of motion of the shoulder. 4 cases had mild limited range of motion of the shoulder without any problem in normal daily activity. Conclusion: It was assumed that tenodesis of long head of the biceps brachii tendon with bioabsorbable interference screw by minimal open precedure was one of the good methods with good clinical results.

Bilateral Congenital Absence of the Long Head of Biceps Brachii Tendon in Shoulder Joints: A case report / 대한정형외과학회잡지

The role of the long head of biceps brachii tendon in the stahilization of the head of the humerus is a highly interesting issue in recent studies. But, it is not well understood. Congenital absence of biceps long head tendon ot the hilateral shoulder joint is very rare and on review of literatures, we could not find any case reported. We experienced one case which was confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging and arthroscopic examination of the shoulder, and report it with review of literatures.
