Bilateral InterFacet Dislocation
– Discussion: – integrity of all ligaments of cervical canal is lost, including posterior ligaments, anterior & posterior longitudinal ligaments, disc, and articular facet joints; – this type of injury occurs only when middle & posterior ligamentous structures are disrupted; – there are typically no frxs of facets because … Read more
Biceps Tendonitis – Tendonopathy
– See: Proximal Biceps Tendon Rupture: and SLAP tear and arthroscopic rotator cuff repair – Discussion: – inflammation of long head of biceps tendon usually occurs w/ rotator cuff inflammation (esp subscapular tears); – clinically, it may be difficult to differentiate the pain patterns of rotator cuff and biceps tendon inflammation; … Read more
Biceps Brachii
– Anatomy: – origin: – long head: supraglenoid tuberosity of the scapula – short head: apex of coracoid process of scapula; – synergists: brachialis, brachioradialis, supinator; – innervation: musculocutaneous, C5 > C6; – … Read more
Bankart Lesion
– Discussion: – is an avulsion of the anteroinferior glenoid labrum at its attachment to IGHL complex; – lesion is felt to result from anterior shoulder dislocation and is felt to be primary lesion in recurrent anterior instability; – when Bankart lesion occurs, there is obligitory concomitant capsular disruption, w/ stretching or elongation … Read more

Axillary Approach to the Shoulder
– Indications: – most often used for anterior shoulder reconstructions – Positioning: – beach chair w/ full access to posterior aspect of shoulder; – holding shoulder in flexion, will relax shoulder & facilitate exposure; – consider the Mconnel Shoulder Positioner; – references: … Read more
Axillary Artery
– See: Arteries of the Upper Limb – Discussion: – the axillary artery begins at the first rib as a direct continuation of the subclavian artery and becomes the brachial artery at the lower border of the teres major – artery passes behind pectoralis minor in its course thru axilla & is conveniently described as having 3 … Read more
