文摘

Many variants of the long head of the biceps tendon exist but their appearance has not been documented with ultrasonography (US). We describe a case of variant LHB anatomy that was visualized by magnetic resonance imaging and confirmed with US. Additionally, US was useful to exclude instability of the LHBT. To the best of our knowledge, this variant appearance of the LHBT has not been previously described with US. Considering that shoulder US is routinely performed clinically, knowledge of the appearance of variant LHBT anatomy may be useful.
