We evaluated patients at very long term with rupture of the long head biceps tendon (LHBT) in whom the tendon stump had been sutured to the coracoid tip (Gilcreest technique). Our aim was to determine the natural history of shoulders deprived of the LHBT and to assess the validity of the surgical technique. Between 1969 and 1981, 30 patients with rupture of the LHBT and no evidence of cuff tear underwent the Gilcreest operation. The mean age of the patients was 32 years (range, 20-49). Six of them were professional gymnasts. The 28 patients that could be traced were evaluated a mean of 31 years after operation. The mean Constant score (CS) was 74 in the entire group, and 86 in 22. The latter patients complained occasionally of mild shoulder pain. The remaining six patients had a mean CS of 56 (range, 40-81). Of the six, four (aged 66-71 years) had clinical and MR evidence of rotator cuff tear. The other two had undergone arthroscopic cuff repair (CS,(75)(76)(77)(78)(79)(80)(81). After operation, all professional gymnasts had returned to sport activity and all the other patients had resumed their jobs. After 30 years, the majority of the patients who had undergone the Gilcreest operation had good functional and cosmetic outcomes. Only a few patients had a cuff tear. The role of the LHBT as depressor of the humeral head is probably less important than generally believed.

“…Ruptures or instabilities can be treated by open [5][6][7][8] or arthroscopic techniques [9,10]. However, the indications for repair of an acute rupture remain controversial, since many studies have shown that complete tendon tears are responsible for quite severe cosmetic defects, but minimal or no dysfunction of the arm.…”

“…A variety of fixation implants and techniques are available. Bone tunnels [43][44][45], interference screws [42•], suture anchors [46,47] (Sanders), cortical button [48], keyhole [49], and soft-tissue tenodesis are described techniques. The use of bone tunnels combined with interference screw fixation is the most commonly used technique because of biomechanical evidence demonstrating superior pull-out strength of the screw and tendon [50][51][52].…”

Lesions of the proximal long head of the biceps tendon (LHB) have been considered as a major cause of shoulder pain and dysfunction. The role of the LHB in causing pain has been a source of controversy for many years, and extensive literature is available discussing anatomy, function, pathology, and most importantly appropriate treatment. Despite this, there is a lack of consensus in the literature regarding the management of biceps-related pathology. Biceps tenotomy and tenodesis are common surgical treatment options when dealing with LHB-related pathology. In this review, a brief discussion on surgical options is provided while focusing on the different options for biceps tenodesis including outcomes and complications.

“…Die chirurgische Behandlung einer derartigen Pathologie beschränkt sich auf die Entfernung des intraartikulären Sehnenanteils, gefolgt von einem Release oder einer Tenodese [3,4,6,7,[14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][31][32][33].…”
