Duplicidad de la porción larga del bíceps sintomática. Reporte de caso

Abstract

The long head of the biceps is a common cause of shoulder pain. Assessment and management requires knowledge of normal anatomy and its many variants described in the literature, as well as appropriate correlation of clinical, imaging, and arthroscopic findings. The case is presented of a 49 year-old male patient of with a traumatic ruptured cuff and biceps pain. In the arthroscopic evaluation duplication of the long head of the biceps was identified with the accessory bundle originated in the rotator cuff. The case was resolved arthroscopically by performing a tenodesis of the fascicles of one, and a tenotomy of the other, plus rotator cuff repair.
