Biceps Pulley: Normal Anatomy and Associated Lesions at MR Arthrography

Lesions of the biceps pulley.

BACKGROUND Lesions of the biceps pulley and instability of the long head of the biceps tendon are common diagnoses in patients with anterior shoulder pain. PURPOSE To analyze the pathoanatomy of the biceps reflection pulley ("pulley") in consecutive patients undergoing shoulder arthroscopy. STUDY DESIGN Cohort study (prevalence); Level of evidence, 2. METHODS Prospective data were collect...

MR arthrography of rotator interval, long head of the biceps brachii, and biceps pulley of the shoulder.

The rotator interval and the long head of the biceps brachii tendon are anatomically closely associated structures believed to confer stability to the shoulder joint. Abnormalities of the rotator interval may be acquired or congenital and are associated with instability of the long head of the biceps brachii tendon. Clinical and arthroscopic diagnoses of rotator interval abnormalities and subtl...

Subscapularis tendon tears: detection and grading at MR arthrography.

PURPOSE To assess diagnostic accuracy in the detection and grading of subscapularis tendon lesions at magnetic resonance (MR) arthrography. MATERIALS AND METHODS MR arthrograms in 50 consecutive patients (29 with normal subscapularis tendons, 11 with a lesion in the cranial quarter, seven with a major tear but not complete detachment, three with complete detachment) with arthroscopic or surgi...
