AANA19 Shoulder Access Pass-Donnybrook: Don't Kill the Biceps-Dr. Craig D. Morgan, M.D.

Donnybrook: Don't Kill the Biceps-Dr. Craig D. Morgan, M.D.

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Dr. John Doe discusses the long head of the biceps and its role in shoulder pain. He explains that in most cases, the problem is not the long head of the biceps itself, but rather the soft tissue biceps pulley outlet in the anterior rotator interval. This widening of the bicep soft tissue pulley outlet destabilizes the biceps, leading to pain. Dr. Doe explores the mechanism of injury in throwers and discusses the anatomy of the area. He also outlines reliable diagnostic parameters and presents MRI and arthroscopy images to illustrate the condition. Dr. Doe recommends interval closure as a successful treatment option, rather than biceps tenodesis. The video concludes with his clinical experience and the importance of addressing the underlying issue for successful rehabilitation.
