1 The Long Head of the Biceps Tendon: Normal Anatomy and Pathology on MRI Lynne S. Steinbach, M.D. Professor of Radiology and Orthopaedic Surgery Department of Radiology University of California San Francisco

2 Biceps Muscles and Tendons Long Head Short Head Distal Tendon Bicipital Aponeurosis (Lacertus Fibrosis)

3 Long Head of the Biceps Tendon Anatomy Function Pathology Variants Treatment (LHBT)

4 Origin Superior labrum and/or supraglenoid tubercle Intracapsular, extrasynovial Extends laterally in the rotator interval which is composed of: Capsule Coracohumeral lig (CHL) Superior glenohumeral lig (SGHL) Supraspinatus(SS) Subscapularis (Subs)

5 Originates from the supraglenoid tubercle and superior labrum LHBT Origin

6 LHBT Intra-articular articular Portion from Anchor to Pulley Sagittal Plane

7 LHBT Intra-articular articular Portion from Anchor to Pulley Axial Plane

8 LHBT Origin Axial Plane Glenoid origin is variable between individuals Anterior origin Posterior origin

9 Normal LHBT, SGHL, CHL in Rotator Interval Axial Plane SGHL CHL B

10 Pulley is junction between intra- and extra-articular articular biceps Curves degrees into extra-articular articular groove Notice the Subs tendon extending over the pulley to the greater tuberosity

11 LHBT Pulley Surrounds biceps in rotator interval and proximal biceps groove Ligamentous sling Superficial-CHL Deep-SGHL Contributions from SS and Sub tendons called fasciculus obliquus Sagittal plane

12 LHBT Pulley Pulley Biceps Notice the split in the biceps Sagittal plane

13 LHBT Pulley Extra-articular articular BT lies in intertubercular sulcus between LT and GT Stabilized by pulley CHL superficial SGHL deep Pulley reinforced by Subs and SS tendon fibers Attach to LT and GT Subscapularis Axial plane SS

14 LHBT Synovial Reflection in Intertubercular Groove

15 LHBT Synovial Reflection in Intertubercular Groove

16 Humeral head depressor Stabilizer GHJ Posterior translation of flexed or abducted externally rotated shoulder Biceps is fixed between glenoid and humerus Superior excursion 4cm from flexion to extension LHBT Function

17 Occur with repetitive load and abrasive wear Less commonly acute Diagnosis and treatment of biceps injuries is a clinical challenge LHBT Sports Injuries

18 LHBT Pathology By Location Intra-capsular Origin Tendon and labral (SLAP) lesions Rotator interval Impingement (external and internal) Subluxation and dislocation Tendinosis Hourglass biceps Tears Extra-capsular Biceps groove Tenosynovitis Tendinosis Tears Most biceps tendon abnormalities are accompanied by other internal derangement

19 Causes of LHBT Dislocation and Subluxation Trauma and impingement (ASI) Forcefully stopped overhead throw Repetitive forceful internal rotation above the horizontal plane Fall Outstretched arm internal or external rotation Backward on hand or elbow Biceps groove anomalies and dysplasia Degeneration of biceps tendon Tears subscapularis and supraspinatus tendons

20 Anterior Superior Impingement Internal impingement caused by repetitive overhead motion Internal rotation and adduction Biceps instability and tears Anterior translation and superior migration humeral head Tears Pulley lesions SGHL and CHL SS and Subscap tendons Peter Habermeyer, J Shoulder and Elbow Surg 2004;13:5-12

21 Phases of Baseball Pitching Cocking Follow-through Phases of baseball pitching

22 Biceps in Throwing Athletes Phases of baseball pitching Vector forces on LHBT Cocking External rotation Medial force Follow-through Internal rotation Lateral force EMG activity increased with follow-through and shoulder instability

23 Biceps Subluxation & Dislocation Modified Habermayer Classification EXTRA-ARTICULAR ARTICULAR Subluxation I and II Dislocation III and IV INTRA-ARTICULAR ARTICULAR Dislocation V and VI Subscapularis SS

24 Type I Biceps Subluxation Subscapularis Tendon Tear with Intact Pulley Intact pulley Subscapularis tendon partial intrasubstance or anterior tear Medial biceps shift or minor subluxation Subscapularis SS

25 Type II Biceps Subluxation Medial Pulley Tear with Intact Subscap Tendon Subscapularis SS Biceps shift or subluxation more exaggerated than Type I

26 Isolated Pulley Lesion SGHL Tear/Biceps Tendinitis

27 partial subscap tear.jpg Type IIIA Extra-articular articular Biceps Dislocation Medial Pulley and Intrasubstance Subscapularis Tendon Tears ubscapularis SS

28 Type IIIB Extra-articular articular Biceps Dislocation Medial Pulley and Anterior Subscapularis Tendon Tears Subscapularis SS

29 Type IV Extra-articular articular Biceps Dislocation Lateral Pulley with Supraspinatus Tears SS Tear

30 Type V Intra-articular articular Biceps Dislocation Medial and Lateral Limbs of Pulley and Full Thickness Subscapularis Tendon Tears Subscapularis SS

31 Type VI Intra-articular articular Biceps Dislocation Medial Pulley and Subscap tendon Detachment from LT ubscapularis SS

32 Type VI Intra-articular articular Biceps Dislocation Medial Pulley and Subscap tendon Detachment from LT Armstrong A, et al. J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2006;15:7-11

33 Split Tear Biceps Tendon with Med Subluxation & Subscap Tear

34 LHBT Tendinosis

35 BT tendinosis just proximal to bicipital groove with tendon unable to slide into groove Inhibits passive and active elevation and causes pain Usually seen with RCT Hourglass Biceps psha O, et al., Eur J Radiol 2008;68:36-56 oileau P, et al.

36 Hourglass Biceps Sagittal T2W Coronal T2W

37 Biceps Entrapment Hourglass Biceps

38 Partial Tear LHBT SS Tendon Tear SLAP Lesion

39 Partial Tears LHBT Partial tear biceps

40 Complete Tear LHBT Near Origin at Supraglenoid Tubercle in a Bodybuilder

41 Posterior Dislocation of LHBT with Posterior Incarceration

42 Incarcerated LHBT in GT Fx

43 Incarcerated Biceps in Greater Tuberosity Fracture

44 Extra-articular articular LHBT Primary Repetitive overhead movement in sports Secondary Rotator cuff tears and external impingement Tenosynovitis

45 Criteria for Extra-articular articular Biceps Fluid out of proportion to that in the joint Several bands in tendon sheath Tendon adherence to one side Tenosynovitis

46 Extra-articular articular Biceps Tendon Evaluation During Arthroscopy Extra-capsular portion not seen during arthroscopy Preoperative knowledge of pathology leads surgeon to probe the tendon Pulling on intracapsular tendon improves visualization of extra- capsular portion

52 Osseous Body in Tendon Sheath Can Mimic Accessory Tendon

53 Congenital Absence of the LHBT Seven cases reported 4/7 associated with other anomalies including Spina bifida occulta Congenital inguinal hernia Right undescended testicle Insult in 6 th and 7 th week of gestation Underdeveloped biceps groove

54 Intracapsular Origin LHBT Incomplete differentiation of the joint capsule Biceps merges with capsule

55 Conservative Debridement Partial tears and tendinosis Tenodesis or tenotomy Large partial or full thickness tear or subluxation Repair of adjacent rotator cuff tear LHBT Pathology Treatment

56 Biceps Tenodesis

57 Injuries of the Long Head of the Biceps Tendon Biceps tendon disease is associated with overhead sports as well as rotator cuff disease and SLAP lesions The pulley, supraspinatus and subscapularis tendons are often abnormal with displacement and tears of the biceps tendon Intra-articular articular tendinosis is common Extra-articular articular biceps abnormalities as well as normal variants are well seen with MR and US
