Flexion-extension-supination test compared to arthroscopic findings of biceps long head pathology: A physical examination that reflect anatomical evolution of human shoulder girdle
Abstract:The accuracy of physical examination for diagnosing lesions of the long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT) remains unsatisfactory. The purpose of this study was to describe a new diagnostic test, the Flexion-Extension-Supination (FES) test for diagnosing lesions of the long head of biceps tendon.A prospective study of 162 patients was performed to evaluate the diagnostic value of FES test. All the participants were evaluated on the basis of their clinical presentation, physical examination (FES test), radiologic… Show more
