Article Abstract
The long head of the biceps is a common pain generator in the shoulder that is often managed surgically with tenotomy or tenodesis. Although the clinical outcomes after the 2 techniques are comparable, tenodesis is generally performed in relatively young and active patients to avoid tenotomy-related complications, such as cosmetic deformity, early fatigue, and cramping. This Technical Note describes a proximal biceps tenodesis coanchored with the anchor of the lateral row in rotator cuff repair. This tenodesis fixation is simple and cost-effective, with no need for additional anchors.

Greater distal excitation of the biceps femoris long head reflects proximodistal differences in motor unit action potential properties.

Evidence on regional muscle excitation within hamstrings remains controversial, primarily because information derived solely from surface electromyograms (sEMG) amplitude does not necessarily provide an accurate estimate of neural drive to the muscle. To address this limitation, this study investigated whether there are proximodistal differences in motor unit properties of the biceps femoris long head during isometric hip extension and knee flexion tasks. Seventeen resistance-trained males performed isometric knee flexion and hip extension tasks at 20 % and 40 % of maximal voluntary contraction.

An improved understanding of the complex biomechanics of the static and dynamic stabilizers of the shoulder has allowed for the evolution in diagnosing and treating shoulder pathology. The long head of the biceps brachii tendon (long head of the biceps tendon [LHBT]) is associated with various shoulder pathologies, including superior labrum from anterior to posterior tears, rotator cuff pathology, or even isolated biceps instability. Injuries to the LHBT can occur in both athlete and nonathlete populations.

Objective: We aimed to assess whether spinal motoneurons received and sent the same neural information during involuntary and voluntary activation following stroke.
Methods: High-density surface electromyography (HD-sEMG) signals of biceps brachii muscle were recorded, while 14 stroke survivors and 10 age-matched controls performed passive stretch and active contraction. Populational motor unit (MU) activity was extracted from HD-sEMG recordings with decomposition algorithms.

The long head of the biceps has traditionally been ignored, tenodesed, or tenotomized during shoulder arthroscopy. However, more recently, it has been recognized as robust autograft tissue that may be mobilized or harvested to aid in a range of augmentation and reconstructive procedures. Several applications are included in this infographic.
