    Abstract:
    The bicipital groove is a groove on the anterior aspect of the proximal end of the humerus. It lies between the greater and lesser tubercles. The variations of this groove may lead to various pathologies of the biceps brachii tendon, one of the most common causes of shoulder pain. Hence, this study examines the various osteometric parameters of bicipital groove in the Bangladeshi population. This cross-sectional descriptive study was done on 100 dry adult human cadaveric humeri (43 right sides and 57 left sides) in the Department of Anatomy, Mymensingh Medical College, Bangladesh from July 2021 to June 2022. The length, maximum width and depth of the bicipital groove and the length of this groove's medial and lateral walls were measured using a digital Vernier slide caliper. Data were recorded in a predesigned data sheet separately and analyzed statistically using Microsoft Excel and SPSS. According to the present study, the mean±SD length of the bicipital groove of the right humeri was 66.646±11.563mm and the left humeri were 66.002±13.025mm. The mean±SD maximum width of the bicipital groove of the right humeri was 10.870±1.799mm and the left humeri were 11.480±1.402mm. The mean±SD depth of the bicipital groove of the right humeri was 4.242±0.655mm and the left humeri were 4.452±0.854mm. The mean±SD medial wall length of the bicipital groove of the right humeri was 60.671±12.360mm and the left humeri were 59.161±13.660mm. The mean±SD lateral wall length of the bicipital groove of the right-sided humeri was 64.996±11.611mm and the left humeri were 64.074±13.115mm. It is expected that this osteometric study of bicipital groove among the Bangladeshi population will be very helpful for clinical anatomists, orthopaedic surgeons, anthropologists and radiologists.
