## Abstract Rotator cuff tears are disabling conditions that result in changes in joint loading and functional deficiencies. Clinically, damage to the longβhead of the biceps tendon has been found in conjunction with rotator cuff tears, and this damage is thought to increase with increasing tear si

## Abstract Tendinopathy is a vexing clinical problem as its onset and development is often asymptomatic and unrecognized until tendon rupture. While extensively studied in the rotator cuff, Achilles, and patellar tendons, no study to date has examined the histological and molecular characteristics
The relationship between the tendon of the long head of the biceps brachii muscle and the glenoidal labrum was investigated in a large number of dissected human shoulder joints. In about 70% of the specimens examined, the labrum was deficient at the posterosuperior margin of the glenoid because the
