The incidence of pathologic changes of the long head of the biceps tendon

To detach the long head of the biceps tendon after tenodesis or not: Outcome analysis at the 4-year follow-up of two different techniques

“…Biceps tenodesis is suggested in young, active patients that present with a degeneration of less than 50% of the biceps tendon fibres, medial subluxation of the biceps tendon, combined subscapularis tears and biceps subluxation or nonreparable SLAP lesions [16,19].…”

Sonography in the instability of the long head of the biceps tendon confronted with histopathologic and arthroscopic findings

“…Long head of the biceps tendinopathy is a common condition in patients with shoulder pain and is often accompanied by RCTs, SI and other shoulder disorders [7,14]. This fact makes the diagnostics of LHBT injuries difficult and often confounding, especially since there is no single clinical test which would provide an exact diagnosis and tears of the SST, the SSC can simulate symptoms of LHBT pathology [7,20].…”

Avaliação dos resultados da tenodese artroscópica do bíceps, utilizando-se parafuso de interferência bioabsorvível

“…A tendinopatia da CLB ocorre com maior freqüên-cia associada a outras afecções, como as lesões do manguito rotador (LMR), impacto subacromial e artrose de ombro; e, mais raramente, de forma primária, podendo estar relacionada a alterações do sulco intertubercular (1,(7)(8) .…”

“…Murthi et al, em 2000, observaram que a incidência de lesão da CLB é diretamente proporcional ao tamanho da LMR (8) . Para outros autores, nas LMR com acometimento do tendão do músculo subescapular, a lesão da CLB ocorre em até 97% dos casos (2,6,9) .…”
