Injury Overview: Biceps tendonitis of the shoulder is an inflammatory condition of the long head biceps tendon that affects the area where the bicep muscle meets the front of the
Injury Overview The biceps is located on the front of the upper arm and is made up of two muscle units that originate from the shoulder and insert on a
Injury Overview Shoulder arthritis is a relatively common condition in which the joint (ball and socket) becomes painful and dysfunctional as a result of wear and tear in the shoulder.
Injury Overview Shoulder anatomy involves three bones and two important joints: the scapula (shoulder blade), the humerus (upper arm bone), and the clavicle (collarbone) are the bones of the shoulder.

Background & General Considerations Low-Grade Labral/Rotator Cuff Tears: At times athletes collect minor injuries to the rotator cuff and/or labrum. Fraying of these tissues are also called “low-grade” tears. Smoothing
Background & General Considerations Low-Grade/Small Rotator Cuff Tears: At times rotator cuff tissue collects minor injuries or small tears. Fraying of these tissues are also called “low-grade” tears and small
Background & General Considerations Anterior-Inferior and Posterior-Inferior Labral Tears: With a first-time severe dislocation of the shoulder or chronic shoulder instability in multiple directions can create “360 degree” complete tears
Background & General Considerations Anterior-Inferior and Posterior-Inferior Labral Tears: With a first-time dislocation of the shoulder, the anterior inferior labrum is torn, often called a “Bankart Lesion”. If this shoulder
General Considerations Background and General Considerations: Massive Rotator Cuff Tears/Maturation Time: Massive rotator cuff tears are defined as rotator cuff tears with over two of the four rotator cuff tendons
Background & General Considerations Large Rotator Cuff Tears/Maturation Time: Large rotator cuff repairs require a significant amount of protection. Tendon-to-bone healing starts to get competent at 6 weeks but likely
The article entitled “Application of biologics in the treatment of the rotator cuff, meniscus, cartilage, and osteoarthritis” reviewed the current status of the use of platelet-rich plasma, bone marrow aspirate,
Thank you to Eric Branch for his help with our recent study on the biceps femoris. It was published last month in the Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine. This tendon
