“…The usual lax appearance of the anterior capsule and glenohumeral ligaments and possible obscuration of anatomy during anterior portal arthroscopy are possible explanations for the difficulty in recognizing this lesion [7].…”

“…We also recorded pathological changes at the subscapularis tendon (partial or complete tear) (Gerber andSebesta 2000, Bennett 2001b) or of the intraarticular portion of the long head of the biceps tendon (synovitis, fraying/partial/complete tear, subluxation/dislocation) (Bennett 2001b, Werner et al 2003. The main diagnosis of associated shoulder disease was documented.…”

BackgroundBy arthroscopy, we observed a phenomenon that, according to our knowledge not previously described, we call the "biceps tendon footprint" (BTF)-an area of chondromalacia beside the bicipital groove.Patients and methods We studied 118 shoulder arthroscopies prospectively. We documented whether a BTF could be observed and what the main pathology associated with it was. We used 3 grades of cartilage wear to describe BTF, and we analyzed pathological changes in associated structures (subscapularis, biceps tendon and humeral head).Results We found a BTF in 16% of the cases. Associated diagnoses were cuff tears and instabilities, most often multidirectional. We observed all 3 grades of cartilage wear, grade 3 being the commonest. Biceps synovitis occurred more often in the BTF group.Interpretation BTF is not a rare phenomenon. Maltraction of the intraarticular biceps tendon in MDI and cuff tears in addition with biceps synovitis appear to cause BTF.

“…[1][2][3]10,13,14 This study demonstrates that by using such a technique, only a mean of 30 to 33 mm (28%-32%) of tendon can be seen, which is at the lower end of previously described technical reports using this technique. 4,8 When these data are further analyzed, it is apparent that the additional excursion with this technique is only 6 mm (lateral decubitus position range, 2-12 mm) and 9 mm (beach-chair position range, 2-14 mm) of the extra-articular portion of the tendon. It is therefore apparent that despite meticulous attempts to standardize portal placement in some cases, tendon excursion remained very limited.…”

“…4 Bhatia et al 5 achieved excellent visualization of the extra-articular portion of the tendon by direct arthroscopy of the bicipital groove using a 4-mm, 30 arthroscope inserted through the Neviaser portal. However, this has not gained popularity, perhaps because of the risk of injury to the suprascapular nerve and supraspinatus tendon and a lack of knowledge of the limitations of traditional arthroscopic methods.…”

“…Several technical reports have described how elevation, abduction, and rotation of the arm as well as elbow flexion can reduce tension in the LHB tendon, potentially allowing 3 to 5 cm of tendon to be pulled into the joint. 4,8 Despite this, Murthi et al 16 reported that approximately 50% of macroscopic tendon lesions were missed at arthroscopy because these abnormalities were located beyond the limit of visualization afforded by tendon excursion alone.…”
