We investigated the function of biceps in 18 patients (19 shoulders) with lesions of the rotator cuff. Their mean age was 59 years. Another series of 18 patients (19 shoulders) with normal rotator cuffs as seen on MRI acted as a control group. Their mean age was 55 years. A brace was used to maintain contraction of biceps during elevation. Anteroposterior radiographs were obtained with the arm elevated at 0°, 45° and 90° with and without contraction of biceps. The distance between the centre of the head of the humerus and the glenoid was compared in the two groups. We found that in the group with tears there was significantly greater proximal migration of the head of the humerus at 0° and 45° of elevation without contraction of biceps but depression of the head of the humerus at 0°, 45° and 90° when biceps was functioning. We conclude that biceps is an active depressor of the head of the humerus in

Our aim was to evaluate bursal involvement at different stages of the impingement syndrome as judged by conventional histopathological examination and expression of tenascin-C, which is known to reflect active reparative processes in different tissues and disorders. Samples of subacromial bursa were taken from 33 patients with tendinitis, 11 with a partial tear and 18 with a complete tear of the rotator cuff, and from 24 control
The aims of this study were to compare the use of resources, costs, and quality of life outcomes associated with subacromial decompression, arthroscopy only (placebo surgery), and no treatment for subacromial pain in the United Kingdom National Health Service (NHS), and to estimate their cost-effectiveness. The use of resources, costs, and quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) were assessed in the trial at six months and one year. Results were extrapolated to two years after randomization. Differences between treatment arms, based on the intention-to-treat principle, were adjusted for covariates and missing data were handled using multiple imputation. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratios were calculated, with uncertainty around the values estimated using bootstrapping.Aims
