    The long head of the biceps stabilizes the shoulder but can be injured in athletes due to overuse or fatigue. Proper evaluation and treatment of biceps injuries, often linked to other shoulder issues, are crucial for athletes.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Sports Medicine
    • Anatomy

    Background:

    • The long head of the biceps brachii muscle plays a role in shoulder stabilization and arm movement.
    • Athletes are susceptible to biceps tendon injuries due to repetitive overhead activities and muscle fatigue.
    • Biceps issues often coexist with other shoulder pathologies, complicating diagnosis and treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To elucidate the biomechanical role of the long head of the biceps in athletes.
    • To categorize common biceps tendon disorders in athletic populations.
    • To emphasize the importance of comprehensive shoulder evaluation in cases of suspected biceps injury.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review on biceps function and pathology in athletes.
    • Analysis of clinical presentations and associations with other shoulder conditions.

  • Classification of biceps tendon injuries based on etiology and location.

    • Main Results:

    • The long head of the biceps acts as a humeral head depressor and stabilizer.
    • Overstress and fatigue can lead to biceps tendon degeneration, instability, or origin disorders.
    • Biceps lesions frequently occur alongside rotator cuff impingement and glenohumeral instability.

    Conclusions:

    • A thorough shoulder assessment is essential when biceps tendon pathology is suspected in athletes.
    • Treatment strategies must address both biceps injuries and associated shoulder conditions for optimal outcomes.
    • Understanding the biceps' role is key to managing athletic shoulder injuries.
