Many studies have compared treatment techniques for the long head biceps tendon (LHBT) without showing any clinically significant differences. As the LHBT is closely related to the bicipital groove, anatomical aspects of this groove could also be implicated in surgical outcomes. The aim of this review is to contribute to developing the optimal surgical treatment of LHBT pathology based on clinically relevant aspects of the bicipital groove. Medline\/PubMed was systematically searched using key words \u201cbicipital\u201d and \u201cgroove\u201d and combinations of their synonyms. Studies reporting on evolution, embryonic development, morphometry, vascularization, innervation, and surgical treatment of the LHBT and the bicipital groove were included. The length of the bicipital groove reported in the included studies ranged from 81.00\u2009mm to 87.33\u2009mm, width from 7.74\u2009mm to 11.60\u2009mm, and depth from 3.70\u2009mm to 6.00\u2009mm. The anatomy of the bicipital groove shows a bottleneck narrowing approximately two\u2010thirds from superior. The transverse humeral ligament can constrain the bicipital groove and could be involved in anterior shoulder pain. When either LHBT tenotomy or tenodesis is performed, routinely releasing the transverse ligament could decrease postoperative anterior shoulder pain, which has frequently been reported in the literature. To avoid the bottle neck narrowing, a location below the bicipital groove may be preferred for biceps tenodesis over a more proximal tenodesis site.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Level of evidence: IV.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ca.23610","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,7]],"date-time":"2020-05-07T12:37:32Z","timestamp":1588855052000},"page":"199-208","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Clinical relevance of the anatomy of the long head bicipital groove, an evidence\u2010based review"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"34","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6948-183X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Derek F.
