Most distal bicep tendon ruptures occur in middle-aged men (fourth decade). The most common mechanism of distal biceps tears is sudden eccentric loading of an actively contracting biceps (lifting or pushing heavy load) resulting in tendon failure usually at the tendon-bone junction. The ...
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...
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, ...
