Abstract

This article explores the diagnostic and therapeutic utility of fluoroscopy-guided infiltration of the long head of the biceps tendon. By highlighting key anatomical, histological, and clinical features of biceps tendonitis, and comparing it to other common shoulder conditions, it emphasizes the importance of precise localization of the pain generator. Technical considerations and challenges, especially in stiff shoulders, are also discussed. The procedure is presented as an effective alternative to surgical intervention in selected patients.
