Core Tip
Core Tip: The long head of biceps tendon (LHBT), which has been regarded as a significant cause of anterior shoulder pain, often occurs with other shoulder pathologies. Trauma and repetitive mechanical wear can lead to development of biceps subluxation and dislocations. Association of sports activity and injury with LHBT pathology has also been reported. The subscapularis fiber function as the medial and proximal portion of the soft tissue sling and subscapularis lesions are almost always accompanied by dislocation. This report describes a rare case of bilateral dislocation of the LHBT without rotator cuff pathology.
