APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The biceps muscle has two tendons that attach the muscle to the shoulder and one tendon that attaches at the elbow. The tendon at the elbow is called the distal biceps tendon. It attaches to a part of the radius bone called the radial tuberosity, a small bump on the bone near your elbow joint.

Detailed explanation-2: -The distal biceps tendon is a fibrous tissue that attaches the biceps, the muscle in the front part of the upper arm, to the radius bone in your lower arm, just below the elbow.

Detailed explanation-3: -The long head of biceps tendon travels deep into the shoulder joint and actually merges with the lining of the joint. The tendon sits in a deep groove in the arm bone called the ‘bicipetal groove’ and it is held in place in that groove by a ligament called the transverse humeral ligament.

Detailed explanation-4: -The biceps transfer provides soft tissue coverage of the humeral head, and restores the superior stability of the shoulder joint. The transferred biceps tendon also improves the mechanics and increases the compression force of the humeral head to the glenoid fossa.
