Anatomical variants of the long head of biceps (LHB) tendon are widely discussed in the literature. As one of the few intra-articular tendons, magnetic resonance arthroscopy can quickly evaluate the proximal part of LHB morphology. It provides good assessment of both intra-articular and extra-articular portions of the tendons. In-depth knowledge about imaging of the anatomical LHB variants discussed in this article is useful preoperatively for orthopaedists and also helps avoid potential diagnostic misinterpretations.

Abstract

Anatomical variants of the long head of biceps (LHB) tendon are widely discussed in the literature. As one of the few intra-articular tendons, magnetic resonance arthroscopy can quickly evaluate the proximal part of LHB morphology. It provides good assessment of both intra-articular and extra-articular portions of the tendons. In-depth knowledge about imaging of the anatomical LHB variants discussed in this article is useful preoperatively for orthopaedists and also helps avoid potential diagnostic misinterpretations.
