Biceps tendon dislocation and instability encompass a range of issues affecting the long head of the biceps brachii tendon (LHBT) within the shoulder complex. This course is designed to equip clinicians with an in-depth understanding of the complexities surrounding this multifaceted shoulder condition. Tailored for healthcare professionals, the course explores the spectrum of issues affecting the LHBT, encompassing primary and secondary tendinitis, chronic tendinopathy, SLAP lesions, instability, and partial or complete ruptures, intricately interlinked with rotator cuff pathology. The nuanced anatomy of the LHBT, its relationship with the bicipital groove, and the pivotal role of the soft tissue pulley system in maintaining shoulder stability are discussed. Through detailed discussions on biomechanics, pain generation mechanisms, and diagnostic approaches, clinicians gain a comprehensive understanding of how repetitive traction, friction, and glenohumeral rotation contribute to tenosynovial inflammation and shoulder pain. The course navigates the controversies surrounding the LHBT’s role in dynamic shoulder stability, providing insights into its functions as a forearm supinator and an elbow flexor. Participants acquire essential tools to formulate effective management and treatment strategies, integrating anatomical insights, pathophysiological considerations, and evidence-based practices to address biceps tendon dislocation and instability in clinical practice.
