TACTICS OF TREATMENT OF THE INSTABILITY OF THE TENDON OF THE LONG HEAD OF THE BICEPS BRACHII

Abstract

The authors of the article studied the results of treatment of 66 patients with an unstable tendon of the long head of the biceps treated for the period from 2004 to 2017. In the study, patients, depending on a diagnosed type of the instability of the tendon of the long head of the biceps according to the Bennet classification (2003), were divided into 5 groups. The task put forward by the researchers consisted in the formation of tactical approaches, taking into account the type of damage to a rotary-bicepital complex for the various-type instability of the tendon of the long head. In the treatment of patients of groups 1 and 2, a course of conservative therapy was prescribed. Patients of groups 3–5 were recommended surgical treatment using the arthroscopy and methods developed by the authors. With the use of the tactical approaches and methods developed by the authors, it was possible to improve objective indicators of joint functions and subjective sensations of patients.
