Popis: Morphologic changes of the bicipital groove following cuff repair were studied. Thirty-nine cuff repairs were performed at our institute. Tenodesis of the long head of the biceps was performed in 12 shoulders, and not in the remaining 27.The duration of the average follow-up was 24.4 months. Morphologic changes of teh bicipital groove were recognized in 10 out of 12 shoulders that underwent tenodesis. Especcially in all cases with decortication or drilling of the bicipital groove, teh morphologic change was distinct. The changes were found in 9 out of 27 whose biceps tendon was not fixed and massive rotator cuff tears were recognized in these cases during the surgeries. These morphologic changes revealed a trend of lower clinical results. Especially in cases without the tenodesis, clinical results of groove deformity cases were statistically lower than those of the non-deformity cases.
