Dr. Peter Millett uses arthroscopic shoulder surgery to treat bicep tendon injuries, along with a variety of other shoulder injuries and conditions.
Tuberculous Distal Biceps Tendon Rupture: Case Report and Review of the Literature On physical examination, the patient had a scar from the previous surgery, a hollow area in his left anterior shoulder, and a prominent biceps muscle belly (FIGURE). Weakness with left elbow flexion: Left anterior...
The distal tendon attaches the bicep muscle to the elbow. The injury can come in either a partial bicep muscle tear, in which the tendon frays, or a complete rupture, which splits the tendon in two. Bicep tears often occur in older adults due to general use over long periods of time...
This case report is the first in the literature to describe a US-guided distal bicep tendon injection using a posterior approach. The patient had an excellent clinical outcome with no adverse events. This outcome suggests that a US-guided posterior percutaneous tendon injection might be a safe, ...
Initial treatment of LHB tendon pathologies is usually nonoperative treatment; however, if this fails the surgical options include tenotomy versus tenodesis. Tenotomies can be done quickly and commonly relieve pain associated with the pathology and requires less postoperative restrictions and ...
Patients with allograft tendon reconstruction, revision procedures, nonmilitary status, and/or follow-up of less than 24month were excluded. Demographic data (age, limb dominance) and surgical variables (time to surgery, surgical technique) were extracted, and rates of perioperative complications, re...
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between stiffness of the bicep brachii muscle (BBM) and distal bicep tendon (DBT) and effects of weight lifting (pre- to post-workout changes) among groups with different body mass indexes (BMI).Participants were divided into four groups according...
