Questions and Answers: Symposium - Bicep Issues-Dr. Laith M. Jazrawi, M.D.

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Morgan is asked about repairing a torn biceps that has been avulsed from its insertion. He shares a case of a left-handed athlete who successfully resumed throwing after fixing an interval lesion. Dr. Kibler is then asked to discuss the work of Greg Bain on the tension band concept of the biceps. Bain's research shows that the posterior edge of the labrum, including the biceps, acts as a tension band to control the glenohumeral joint in positions of maximum external rotation and forward flexion. This issue with the tension band is believed to be the cause of symptoms in throwing athletes. The discussion concludes with the expectation of further explanation and demonstration on Saturday.
