Posterior Dislocation of the Long Head of Biceps Tendon after Traumatic Anterior Shoulder Dislocation

Abstract

Teaching point: An irreducible anterior glenohumeral joint dislocation associated with a displaced fracture of greater tuberosity, a rotator cuff tear, or a coracoid process fracture should raise the suspicion of posterior long head of biceps tendon (LHBT) dislocation.

Keywords: biceps tendon injuries; diagnostic imaging; shoulder dislocation.
