“…In these studies, the BG depth has been commonly measured, and this value is reported to range from 4 to 7 mm. [1][2][3][4][5][6]11,12] In the current study, we found the BG depth to be 4.78±0.54 mm, which is consistent with previous studies. [1][2][3][4]6,12] Studies on OA and MWA are very limited.…”

“…The BG morphology is important both as an anatomical landmark for LHB tendon stability. The literature contains studies on the anatomical features of BG, [1][2][3][4][5][6]11,12] of which most have been conducted in cadavers and cadaveric bone collections. In these studies, the BG depth has been commonly measured, and this value is reported to range from 4 to 7 mm.…”

“…BG is also transformed into a canal by the fibrous transverse humeral ligament that runs between the lesser and greater humeral tubercles. [1][2][3][4][5][6] One of the causes of shoulder pain and immobility is abnormalities of the LHB tendon and its synovial sheath. The relationship between the instability of the LHB tendon and the morphology of BG was investigated in some previous studies.…”

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the morphological measurements of bicipital groove and long head of biceps tendon and determine the effect of age and gender on these measurements. Methods: The study included 110 patients (60 females, 50 males) aged 18–50 years, who underwent magnetic resonance imaging of the left shoulder between January and December 2020. The patients had stable biceps tendons, and did not have a rotator cuff tear. The bicipital groove morphology was evaluated based on depth, opening angle, medial wall angle and the biceps tendon morphology was assessed based on thickness (anteroposterior length) and width (transverse length). Results: There was no difference between the females and males in terms of age, opening angle and medial wall angle (p>.05). The bicipital groove depth was lower in the females than in the males (p<.001), while the biceps tendon was thicker in the males compared to the females (p<.001). There was no correlation between age and the sizes of bicipital groove and the biceps tendon. A negative correlation was observed between the bicipital groove depth and opening angle (r=-0.55), and a positive correlation between medial wall angle (r=0.51), tendon thickness (r=0.50) and tendon width (r=0.34). Bicipital groove depth had a positive correlation with tendon thickness (r=0.54) in women and tendon width in men (r=0.28). Conclusion: The morphological measurements of bicipital groove and the biceps tendon showed correlations. There were also gender differences in these morphological measurements.

“…There is a functional significance of the BG related to bone operation, and the BG is considered to be an important anatomic marker for the replacement of prostheses of the humerus. The morphology of the BG affect the biomechanics of the long head of biceps brachii tendon, associated pathologies and traumatic injuries 10 . Individuals participating in sporting activities that require repetitive overhead motions are also effected by the structure of BG 11 .…”

ObjectiveResearch on proximal fractures in the humeral bicipital groove (BG), a region in which bones are not commonly fractured, is considered sparse in the literature. The objective of this research was to present the definite characteristics and distribution of BG fractures.MethodsThis retrospective study included and enrolled 119 proximal humeral fractures in adult patients with complete radiography data to identify the fracture distribution in the BG from January 2021 to August 2021. The bicipital region was divided into three parts, i.e. the upper 1/3, middle 1/3, and lower 1/3 of the BG, and the distribution of fracture lines was transcribed on the male or female template, as appropriate. In addition, the normal contralateral humerus was used to calculate the cortical thickness of the supratubercular groove and different parts of the BG (upper, middle, and lower parts). The Mann–Whitney test or one‐way ANOVA along with LSD tests were used to determine differences in the fracture distribution and cortical thickness between men and women.ResultsFractures of the BG in both men and women were mainly located in the upper 2/3 region of the BG, especially in the middle 1/3 of the BG. There were significant differences in the cortical thickness of the BG in men compared with that in women. The cortical thickness was highest in the supratubercular ridge but not the BG in men and women, respectively.ConclusionThis research concluded that bony BG fractures were always observed in the middle part of the BG and were mainly found in patients with four fractures of the proximal humerus. As a unique fracture pattern, the existence of a bony BG fracture always means that a patient has been injured by a relatively severe mechanism, and more attention should be given to these proximal humeral fractures.
