Bilateral calcifying tendinitis of the long tendon of the biceps associated with a SLAP lesion
نویسندگان
چکیده
Calcifying tendinitis is a common disorder related to deposition of hidroxyapatite crystals, which is most common around the shoulder joint, involving the supraespinosus tendon. It can however, affect almost any tendon at its insertion. Clinical features are variable and include pain and inflammation that often resolves spontaneously. We present a case of bilateral calcifying tendinitis of the long head of the biceps tendon at its insertion on the superior glenoid rim associated with superior labrum antero-posterior tears (SLAP) confirmed by arthroscopy. Calcium deposits were surgically removed and the SLAP lesions were repaired. © 2009 Elsevier España, S.L. All rights reserved.

متن کاملClassification and analysis of pathology of the long head of the biceps tendon in complete rotator cuff tears.
BACKGROUND Pathology of the long head of the biceps tendon (LHB) is commonly associated with rotator cuff tears (RCTs). Superior labral anterior-posterior (SLAP) lesions can also occur with RCTs. The purpose of this study was to include SLAP lesions as part of LHB pathology in surgical cases of RCT and define the role of SLAP lesions in RCTs. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated clinical data...
متن کاملChronic Proximal Biceps Tendinitis in Young Patients with Anatomic Proximal Origin Variations: A case series
Purpose: To describe a case series of young adult patients with isolated chronic proximal biceps tendinitis refractory to conservative care found to have anatomic long head biceps tendon (LHBT) origin variations who underwent arthroscopic-assisted subpectoral biceps tenodesis. Methods: Patients were included in this retrospective case series if they met all the following criteria: 1) had ...
متن کاملDiagnosis and treatment of biceps tendinitis and tendinosis.
Biceps tendinitis is inflammation of the tendon around the long head of the biceps muscle. Biceps tendinosis is caused by degeneration of the tendon from athletics requiring overhead motion or from the normal aging process. Inflammation of the biceps tendon in the bicipital groove, which is known as primary biceps tendinitis, occurs in 5 percent of patients with biceps tendinitis. Biceps tendin...
متن کاملCorrelation of the SLAP lesion with lesions of the medial sheath of the biceps tendon and intra-articular subscapularis tendon
BACKGROUND Superior labral anterior to posterior (SLAP) lesions have been well described in the literature and are thought to be secondary to traction injuries to the biceps anchor and/or falls on the outstretched arm. The pulley has recently been described as a structure that aids in the prevention of biceps instability. The intra-articular subscapularis insertion (IASS) has been noted to cont...
