  • Title: Cape-like Anomalous Confluence of the Long Head of the Biceps and Rotator Cuff in the Presence of a SLAP Tear: A Case Report.
    Author: Parisien RL, Griffis M, Jo SY, Kelly JD, Sennett BJ.
    Journal: JBJS Case Connect; 2020; 10(4):e20.00151. PubMed ID: 34061478.
    Abstract:
    CASE: A 25-year-old woman sustained an acute tear of her superior anterior-posterior labrum with arthroscopic identification of an anomalous origin of the long head of the biceps arising exclusively from the supraspinatus tendon with no attachment to the supraglenoid tubercle or superior labrum. CONCLUSION: This is the first report of a symptomatic superior labrum anterior-posterior tear in a patient with a rare anatomic confluence of the long head of the biceps to the supraspinatus. We recommend addressing the labral pathology with utilization of a standard technique because satisfactory results can be realized with isolated labral fixation to the glenoid, despite the absence of an attached biceps tendon.
