Eight EMG studies were found directly supporting increased muscle activation of the biceps brachii in the presence of rotator cuff pathology and shoulder instability, as detailed in Supplementary Table9. Two studies demonstrated significant hyperactivity of the biceps brachii compared to control groups in ...
Lesions of the long head of biceps tendon (LHBT) are commonly associated with complex pathology of the glenohumeral joint, contributing to anterior shoulder pain and forward flexion dysfunction.

This subdeltoid approach is well-suited to problems such as pectoralis major and subscapularis muscle tear, as well as massive rotator cuff tear repairs, problems that were previously difficult to address from the standard arthroscopic portals. This approach also allows transfer of the biceps tendon...
To ensure adequate interference fixation within bone and proper tensioning of the muscle-tendon unit, enough of the tendon must be secured before fixation Inadequate interference fixation and improper tensioning of the muscle-tendon unit may result from poor securement of the tendon for fixation The ...
