Abstract

The long head of biceps (LHB) tendon arises from the supraglenoid tubercle and the superior labrum. This part of LHB is intra-articular and extrasynovial. The tendon exits the joint within the bicipital groove, covered by the transverse humeral ligament and accompanied by the ascending branch of the anterior circumflex artery (Fig. 25.1).
