Imaging of Anatomical Variants of the Long Head Biceps Tendon
![](https://www.thieme-connect.de/media/smr/202302/lookinside/thumbnails/10-1055-s-0043-1761210_2200056-1.jpg)
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.
