“…The role of the tendon as a humeral head depressor, primary or secondary inflammatory mediator, and persistent pain generator in rotator cuff deficient patients remains to be clarified. 17,18,37 Similarly, the advantages and disadvantages of treating an individual patient with simple tenotomy versus tenodesis are debated among surgeons. 2,12,17,36 Regardless of the incomplete understanding of biceps function, it is widely recognized as a source of pain in certain patients.…”

“…[8,16] Some have postulated that subacromial impingement may be worsened without the passive effect of the long head of the biceps as a humeral head depressor, such as with biceps tenodesis or that the short head may further exacerbate this impingement by elevating the humeral head with contraction [15,25].…”

Loading the long head of the biceps had a much greater effect on glenohumeral range of motion and humeral head shift than the short head of the biceps; however, in the absence of long head loading, with the short head loaded, maximum internal rotation increases and the humeral head shifts superiorly, which may contribute to impingement following tenodesis of the long head of the biceps. These small changes in rotational range of motion and humeral head position with biceps tenodesis may not lead to pathologic conditions in low-demand patients; however, in throwers, biceps tenodesis may lead to increased contact pressures in late-cocking and deceleration that will likely translate to decreased performance therefore every effort should be made to preserve the biceps-labral complex.

Background:The hourglass biceps, an intra-articular entrapment of the long head of the biceps (LHB), is a possible diagnosis in cases of shoulder pain associated with loss of passive elevation.Purpose:The objective of this study is to investigate the role of dynamic ultrasound (U/S) in determining the diagnosis of the hourglass biceps lesion.Materials and Methods:A prospective cohort of 16 patients with the clinical suspicion of an hourglass lesion, a preoperative ultrasound, and a confirmed hourglass LHB at surgery, were included in the study. Eight patients had preoperative dynamic ultrasound assessment of the LHB, and eight had standard ultrasound investigations and served as a control group.Results:Dynamic ultrasound accurately diagnosed an hourglass biceps in three out of eight cases. LHB hypertrophy was demonstrated in five out of eight cases with U/S and three out of eight cases with standard U/S. All patients were treated by excision of the intra-articular portion of the LHB, 15 by bipolar tenotomy, and one by LHB tenodesis.Conclusions:Dynamic ultrasound shows promise in improving the accuracy in diagnosis of LHB hypertrophy and the Hourglass lesion.Level of Evidence:III (Consecutive case-control study investigating a diagnostic test).
