A Comparison of Biceps Labrum Complex Findings in Patients With and Without Superior Migration of the Humeral Head in Large or Massive Rotator Cuff Tears

The purpose of this study was to clarify the relationship between superior migration of the humeral head and findings of biceps labrum complex (BLC) in large or massive rotator cuff tears. Forty-nine shoulders that underwent surgery for torn supraspinatus and infraspinatus tendons were included. Pat...

Zusammenfassung:	The purpose of this study was to clarify the relationship between superior migration of the humeral head and findings of biceps labrum complex (BLC) in large or massive rotator cuff tears. Forty-nine shoulders that underwent surgery for torn supraspinatus and infraspinatus tendons were included. Patients were divided into two groups according to the acromio–humeral interval (AHI). Arthroscopic findings of BLC were classified into five types; Type 0; normal shape, Type 1: fraying; Type 2: detachment; Type 3: attrition of BLC and superior glenoid; and Type 4: defect. The group without migration (AHI ≥ 7 mm) consisted of 21 shoulders and that with migration (AHI
