    BackgroundLong head of biceps tendon (LHBT) instability is an important source of pain and disability for the shoulder. Supraspinatus and subscapularis tendons contribute to the formation of the biceps pulley system, which maintains biceps stability during shoulder movements. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of morphology of bicipital groove on the stability of LHBT. Also, to evaluate the relationship between bicipital groove morphology and subscapularis rupture and supraspinatus rupture.Material and methodsSurgical images and magnetic resonance images of 200 patients who underwent shoulder arthroscopy surgery in our clinic between January 2016 and December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. The depth of groove, medial wall angle and opening angle values of 200 patients were measured on MRI. The stability of the biceps long head tendon, rotator cuff tear and SLAP lesions was recorded by monitoring the shoulder arthroscopy records in each groups.ResultsThere were 200 patients, 131 male and 69 female, with an average age of 40.914.2 (range: 17.0-79.0) years. In 69 (34.5%) patients, long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT) instability was detected. The patients were divided into two groups according to LHBT instability.The subscapularis rupture was significantly more frequent in the group with LHBT instability (52.2%) than the group without LHBT instability (4.6%) (p<0.001). The supraspinatus tear was observed in 72.5% in the group with instability and 56.5% in the non-instability group, which shows a statistical difference between the two groups (p=0.027). The presence of SLAP was observed in similar rates in both groups (p=0.053). Mean depth of groove, medial wall angle, and opening angle measurements were similar in both groups (p=0.568, p=0.393 and p=0.598, respectively).ConclusionTo conclude, the morphology of the bicipital groove is not related to the stability of LHBT, and the soft tissue factors above the bicipital groove rather than bone morphology are important in stability. In addition, subscapularis rupture is a pre-disposing factor for LHBT instability; therefore, we recommend a more careful examination of LHBT in patients with subscapularis rupture.Level of evidence III.

    Partial and full-thickness rotator cuff tears in patients younger than 45 years
    (Turkish Assoc Orthopaedics Traumatology, 2020) Kaptan, Ahmet Yigit; Ulucakoy, Coskun; Ozer, Mustafa; Cetinkaya, Mehmet; Ayanoglu, Tacettin; Ataoglu, Muhammet Baybars; Kanatli, Ulunay
    Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of the arthroscopic repair in patients with partial and full thickness rotator cuff tears and less than 45 years of age. Methods: Fifty patients (26 women and 24 men; mean age: 41.4 +/- 3.96 years; range: 31-45) with rotator cuff tear, and who were treated with the arthroscopic repair, were included in the study. Twenty patients had full thickness and 30 had partial-thickness tears. The final functional evaluation was conducted at a mean of 42.4 months (range, 24 to 95 months; SD:13.3). The American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeon (ASES) self-report score and the University of California at Los Angeles Shoulder Score (UCLA Shoulder Score) were used as validated scoring systems. Results: At the final follow-up, the mean ASES and UCLA scores improved significantly to 72.3 and 26.5, respectively, in the full-thickness group (p<0.01). The mean ASES and UCLA scores improved significantly to 70.7 and 25.3, respectively, in the bursal-side group (p<0.01). The mean ASES and UCLA scores improved significantly to 75.3 and 27.1, respectively, in the joint-side group (p<0.01). There were no significant differences between the groups according to the postoperative ASES score (p>0.06) and UCLA score (p<0.37). Conclusion: The arthroscopic repair of the joint-sided tears and bursal-sided tears has good functional outcomes as full thickness rotator cuff tears, and the surgical option should be considered in younger population if the conservative treatment fails.
