“…The long head of biceps (LHB) can be a significant source of anterior shoulder pain following shoulder arthroplasty [ 26 , 27 ]. In a retrospective analysis from France, of 688 shoulder arthroplasty cases with a primary diagnosis of primary OA, 121 underwent concomitant biceps tenodesis at arthroplasty for an indication of abnormal appearing biceps tendon [ 28 ].…”

Osteoarthritis of the shoulder is a common condition in the aging population, and it can have profound effects on patients’ quality of life. The anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty is a well-described treatment modality resulting generally excellent outcomes. The objective of this review is to discuss the technical aspects of primary anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty, and to provide a framework to follow to achieve a successful surgical result. The topics covered include preoperative planning, surgical considerations, and approaches, humeral preparation, glenoid bone loss and the emerging concept of using the reverse total shoulder arthroplasty for the type B2 glenoid.

“…Shoulder pain affects the large population of mankind especially among elderly people. The pathology of long head of biceps brachii such as tenosynovitis, impingement, and instability of tendon at the entry into the BG is the most common causative factor for shoulder pain [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28].…”

Background:The bicipital groove (BG) or intertubercular sulcus lies between the greater and lesser tubercles on the proximal end of humerus. This groove acts as a useful landmark for proper placement of lateral fin of a prosthesis in shoulder replacement surgery. The variations of BG may lead to various pathologies of biceps tendon which is one of the common causes of shoulder pain. Hence this study is undertaken to examine the various morphometric parameters of BG in South Indian population. Materials and Methods:The study was conducted on 98 dry human humeri (48 right side and 50 left side) belonging to south Indian race. The length, depth and width of BG were measured with digital vernier calliper. The opening and medial wall angles of BG were measured with help of scale and goniometer. Results:The mean length of medial wall, lateral wall, width and depth of BG were 23 ± 4 mm, 31 ± 4 mm, 8.4 ± 01 mm and 5 ± 1 mm respectively. The average medial wall angle and opening angles of BG were 48.72 ± 9.37° and 82.9 ± 20.5° respectively. The supratubercular ridge of Meyer was observed in 26.5 % of humerus. Conclusion:We hope that this study will be an important reference for anthropologists, clinical anatomists and for scientific research.

“…In a series of classic reports by various authors, the papers in [ 4 , 12 – 15 ] have discussed primary versus secondary biceps tendinitis and different treatment regimens for each of these entities [ 16 , 17 ]. The association of shoulder pain with pathology of the LHB is currently attributed to inflammation (synovitis), impingement, prerupture, or instability of the tendon at the entry into the bicipital groove (subluxation or dislocation) [ 16 , 18 – 24 ].…”

The variant morphometry of bicipital groove is reported to be associated with pathologies of biceps tendon and is useful in surgical procedures in this region. The pathologies of biceps tendon are frequent causes of shoulder pain. Therefore, under the condition of paucity of data pertaining to north Indians, not only morphometric analysis of bicipital groove and a new definition of narrow/shallow groove to provide logical explanation for dependence of pathologies of biceps tendon on groove morphology is done but also a review of the literature has been carried out. Various dimensions such as lengths of medial and lateral walls, width, depth, medial wall, and opening angles including incidence of supratubercular ridge of bicipital groove from 101 humerii are 23 ± 5, 32 ± 5, 8 ± 2, 6 ± 1, 48.91 ± 10.31, 82.20 ± 22.62, and 37%, respectively. The average height along with average width of biceps tendon and average width along with average depth of bicipital groove from two cadavers are 1.8, 10.5, 11.3, and 5.5 mm, respectively. The knowledge of bicipital groove will be of paramount importance to anatomists for new data, for orthopaedic surgeons in carrying out surgical procedures in this region, and for physicians in the management of anterior shoulder pain in north Indian population.
