| pubmed-article:2308439 | pubmed:abstractText | 26 shoulders are studied by polariscopic and histologic examination. It can be confirmed that the origin of the long biceps tendon is not only at the supraglenoid tubercle, but also y-shaped in the glenoid labrum. This finding can be explained by phylogenetic means. Further details are found during the course of the tendon through the bicipital groove. A mesotenonium is seen regularly. This is fixed either to the roof or the ground of the sulcus by a band of connective tissue. It is shown also, that the roof of the groove is not a ligament (ligamentum transversum humeri) but consists of collagen fibers continuing from the subscapularis and capsular attachment at the lesser tubercle. | lld:pubmed |
