Abstract

The role of the long head of the biceps (LHB) tendon in producing anterior shoulder pain, first described by Hitchcock and Bechtol in 1948 [1], is now widely accepted. Pathology of the proximal portion of the biceps is commonly encountered by the physician treating shoulder diseases. Lesions of the long head of the biceps can vary in degree from tendinitis, delamination, and subluxation to frank dislocation and can be present in the tendon itself or in the pulley system of the tendon.
