Bicipital Groove Fluid
Bicipital tenosynovitis can be a result of many small tears resulting in inflammation over a period of a number of years or due to an acute injury to the biceps region.
Bicipital groove fluid. Inflammation of the biceps tendon within the intertubercular bicipital groove is called primary biceps. To inject into the area of the long head of the biceps tendon the needle is inserted directly into the most tender area over the bicipital groove. Bicipital tenosynovitis is a pathological condition in which there is inflammation of the tendon sheaths that surround the biceps tendons. High t2 fluid signal intensity is noted around the thickened biceps tendon which is seen within its groove suggestive of tenosynovitis.
Long head of biceps can be affected by numerous pathological processes 3. Both instability and tears can result in pain and decreased function. The needle should enter the skin at 30 and be directed parallel to the groove. Biceps tendinitis is a disorder of the tendon around the long head of the biceps muscle.
With the patient sitting or lying the biceps tendon is identified in the groove and the point of insertion noted. Thickened with intermediate high t2 signal intensity noted at the supraspinatus tendon suggestive of tendinosis. Since the association of bpe with subacromial.
