Long head of biceps tendon transposition for massive and irreparable rotator cuff tears:A systematic review and meta-analysis

BACKGROUND Superior capsular reconstruction(SCR)with long head of biceps tendon(LHBT)transposition was developed to massive and irreparable rotator cuff tears(MIRCTs);however,the outcomes of this technique remain unclear.AIM To perform a systematic review of biomechanical outcomes and a meta-analysis of clinical outcomes after LHBT transposition for MIRCTs.METHODS We performed a systematic electronic database search on PubMed,EMBASE,and Cochrane Library.Studies of SCR with LHBT transposition were included according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria.Biomechanical studies were assessed for main results and conclusions.Included clinical studies were evaluated for quality of methodology.Data including study characteristics,cohort demographics,and outcomes were extracted.A meta-analysis was conducted of the clinical outcomes.RESULTS According to our inclusion and exclusion criteria,a total of six biomechanical studies were identified and reported an overall improvement in subacromial contact pressures and prevention of superior humeral migration without limiting range of motion(ROM)after LHBT transposition for MIRCTs.A total of five clinical studies were included in the meta-analysis of LHBT transposition outcomes,consisting of 253 patients.The results indicated that compared to other surgical methods for MIRCTs,LHBT transposition had advantages of more significant improvement in ROM(forward flexion mean difference[MD]=6.54,95%confidence interval[CI]:3.07-10.01;external rotation[MD=5.15,95%CI:1.59-8.17];the acromiohumeral distance[AHD][MD=0.90,95%CI:0.21-1.59])and reducing retear rate(odds ratio=0.27,95%CI:0.15-0.48).No significant difference in American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score,visual analogue scale score,and University of California at Los Angles score was demonstrated between these two groups for MIRCTs.CONCLUSION In general,SCR with LHBT transposition was a reliable and economical technique for treating MIRCTs,both in terms of biomechanical and clinical outcomes,with comparable clinical outcomes,improved ROM,AHD,and reduced the retear rates compared to conventional SCR and other established techniques.More high-quality randomized controlled studies on the long-term outcomes of SCR with LHBT transposition are required to further assess.

The management of the long head of the biceps in rotator cuff repair:A comparative study of high vs.subpectoral tenodesis

Background:Tenodesis of the long head of the biceps(LHB)is commonly undertaken during arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.We assessed the clinical and structural outcomes after high arthroscopic tenodesis(HAT)or mini-open subpectoral tenodesis(ST).We hypothesized that the clinical and structural results after HAT and ST are similar.Methods:We included 40 patients with rotator cuff tear and LHB tendinopathy.Twenty patients(7 women and 13 men;mean age:57.9 years;range:56-63 years)were treated using HAT,and 20 patients(8 women and 12 men;mean age:58.5 years;range:55-64 years)were treated using ST.Functional evaluation was performed preoperatively and at 6 weeks,6 months,and 1 year after surgery,using the Constant Murley Score and Simple Shoulder Test scores;the LHB was evaluated using the LHB score.A Visual Analogue Scale was administered to all patients preoperatively and 2 days after surgery.Results:The postoperative total and pain subscale’s Constant scores were significantly higher in the ST group.Moreover,2 LHB score values were significantly different between the groups.The postoperative LHB total score in the ST and HAT groups averaged 86.9±4.1(mean±SD)points and 73.3±6.4 points,respectively.The Pain/Cramps subscale in the ST and HAT groups averaged 47.1±5.9 and 33.2±4.6 points,respectively.The 2 groups showed no difference in Visual Analogue Scale values(5.5 in the HAT group;5.8 in the ST group)postoperatively.One patient in the HAT group reported a secondary onset of Popeye deformity.Conclusion:Both high arthroscopic and mini-open ST of the LHB tendon produced reliably good functional results,but the ST group was associated with better postoperative clinical outcomes.

Outcomes of tenodesis of the long head of the biceps tendon more than three months after rupture

AIM: To demonstrate that long head of the biceps tendon(LHBT) tenodesis is possible more than 3 mo after rupture. METHODS: From September 2009 to January 2012 we performed tenodesis of the LHBT in 11 individuals(average age 56.9 years, range 42 to 73) more than 3 mo after rupture. All patients were evaluated by Disabilites of the Arm Shoulder and Hand(DASH) and Mayo outcome scores at an average follow-up of 19.1 mo. We similarly evaluated 5 patients(average age 58.2 years, range 45 to 64) over the same time treated within 3 mo of rupture with an average follow-up of 22.5 mo.RESULTS: Tenodesis with an interference screw was possible in all patients more than 3 mo after rupture and 90% had good to excellent outcomes but two had recurrent rupture. All of those who had tenodesis less than 3 mo after rupture had good to excellent outcomes and none had recurrent rupture. No statistical difference was found for DASH and Mayo outcome scores between the two groups(P <0.05). CONCLUSION: Tenodesis of LHBT more than 3 mo following rupture had outcomes similar to tenodesis done within 3 mo of rupture but recurrent rupture occurred in 20%.

Irreducible Traumatic Anterior Shoulder Dislocation Secondary to Both Subscapularis and Long Head of Biceps Tendon Interposition—A Case Report

An Irreducible dislocation of the shoulder is an uncommon event. When it does occur, blocks to reduction can include bone, labrum, rotator cuff musculature or tendon. Patients older than 40 at the time of initial dislocation are at increased risk of sustaining a concomitant rotator cuff tear. We present a case of an irreducible anterior shoulder dislocation due to interposition of both subscapularis tendon and a posteriorly dislocated long head of biceps. Both Computed Tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), along with intraoperative findings are discussed. Conclusion: We would advocate maintaining a low threshold for MR imaging post shoulder dislocation in the older population, when there is radiological or clinical concern regarding the integrity of the rotator cuff, and also to evaluate whether a concentric reduction of the shoulder joint has been achieved.

Management of proximal biceps tendon pathology

The long head of the biceps tendon is widely recognized as an important pain generator,especially in anterior shoulder pain and dysfunction with athletes and working individuals.The purpose of this review is to provide a current understanding of the long head of the biceps tendon anatomy and its surrounding structures,function,and relevant clinical information such as evaluation,treatment options,and complications in hopes of helping orthopaedic surgeons counsel their patients.An understanding of the long head of the biceps tendon anatomy and its surrounding structures is helpful to determine normal function as well as pathologic injuries that stem proximally.The biceps-labral complex has been identified and broken down into different regions that can further enhance a physician’s knowledge of common anterior shoulder pain etiologies.Although various physical examination maneuvers exist meant to localize the anterior shoulder pain,the lack of specificity requires orthopaedic surgeons to rely on patient history,advanced imaging,and diagnostic injections in order to determine the patient’s next steps.Nonsurgical treatment options such as anti-inflammatory medications,physical therapy,and ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injections should be utilized before entertaining surgical treatment options.If surgery is needed,the three options include biceps tenotomy,biceps tenodesis,or superior labrum anterior to posterior repair.Specifically for biceps tenodesis,recent studies have analyzed open vs arthroscopic techniques,the ideal location of tenodesis with intra-articular,suprapectoral,subpectoral,extra-articular top of groove,and extra-articular bottom of groove approaches,and the best method of fixation using interference screws,suture anchors,or cortical buttons.Orthopaedic surgeons should be aware of the complications of each procedure and respond accordingly for each patient.Once treated,patients often have good to excellent clinical outcomes and low rates of complications.

Irreducible anteromedial radial head dislocation without fracture caused by transposed biceps tendon in an adult:A case report and literature review

Irreducible anteromedial radial head dislocation(IARHD)caused by transposed biceps tendon is rare.Delayed diagnosis and surgical failure often occur.A 46-year-old fisherman presented with 10 days history of painful swelling and restricted movement of his right elbow due to strangulation injury by a fishing boat cable.On examination,the images of the right elbow reveals in a"semi-extended and pronated"elastic fixation position.Radiography and 3-dimensional reconstruction CT reveals an isolated anteromedial radial head dislocation with extreme protonation of the radius and the bicipital tuberosity towards the posterior aspect of the elbow joint,and MRI shows biceps tendon wrapping around the radial neck,similar to umbilical cord wrapping seen in newborns.The Henry approach was applied for the first time to reduce the biceps tendon.The patient achieved a good functional recovery at 26 months,which represents the first reported case of IARHD without fracture caused by biceps tendon in an adult.In treatment of IARHD,attention should be paid to the phenomenon of biceps tendon transposition.Careful clinical examination,comprehensive imaging modalities,and appropriate surgical approach are the keys to successful management.

Modified arthroscopic transfer of the long head of the biceps tendon to the conjoint tendon

The long head of the biceps tendon （LHBT） pathology has been implicated as a common source of shoulder pain. The patients may be more resistant to conservative treatment than those with isolated subacromial impingement. Even though, the surgical options of this disease remain controversial. It has been reported that tenotomy and tenodesis of the biceps tendon were usually utilized. However, persistent pain, deformity, and muscle cramping were frequently observed. Transfer of the LHBT to the conjoint tendon was originally described by Post and Benca in 1982.4 Verma et all has performed the transfer under arthroscopy since 2004. Eighty percent of their patients reported good results with a minimum 2 years of follow-up. However, there was a steep learning curve to become proficient in their technique. We devised a more convenient transfer compared with O＇Brien＇s technique. Six patients received our modified arthroscopic transfers from May 2006 to May 2007. All of them obtained good results.
