Athletes place an elevated demand on their biceps during and in preparation of competition. The biceps contribution to flexion and supination strength increases as the forearm approaches higher degrees of rotation. Maximum biceps function is required for strength training, contact sports, as well as ...
[Objective]We encountered three patients who had sustained sport injuries with characteristic findings of a partial tear of the tendon of the LHB. [Subjects]The subjects ranged in age from 24 to 40 years. The tendon tear had occurred in the right hand. Two of the patients had sustained contu...
Likewise, in our patient, we illustrate a finding that would be quite contributory in F I G U R E 1 Axial, A, and longitudinal, B, views show swollen (arrowhead) long head of the biceps tendon having an intratendinous anechoic zone (asterisk symbol) consistent with a partial tear. On...
Background: The accuracy of the physical examination for tears of the long head of the biceps remains controversial. Purpose: The goals were 1) to characterize the occurrence of partial tears of the long head of the biceps tendon in a group of consecutive patients, and 2) to analyze the di...
Partial subscapularis tears occur commonly and are often associated with biceps fraying and subluxation. A thorough history and physical examination along with appropriate objective testing will commonly enable the clinician to make an accurate diagnosis
Eight patients with partial distal biceps tendon ruptures had the tear confirmed and repaired through a single posterior incision. All were men. The mean age was 50 years (range, 36-60 years). Postoperatively, immediate active and passive motion was instituted. Seven of eight patients returned ...
The tears of the rotator cuff illustrated: Tear in the supraspinatus tendon, long head of the biceps tendon, and subscapularis tendon. Above we reported often hearing that the patient had an MRI and then no clear plan as to what to do next. If you are reading this article, you may be...
The latter also applies to isolation of MSCs from the subacromial bursa, rotator cuff tendon, biceps tendon, or synovial fluid, respectively, as proposed by some authors (reviewed in [23]). To our knowledge, application of such MSCs in the management of PTRCT has not yet been reported. In...
Our preferred method for the repair of acute distal biceps tendon tear is a single anterior skin incision technique with hybrid fixation, which combines a cortical button using a tension slide technique and interference screw fixation. Improvement in fixation techniques of the torn tendon to bone ...
Distal biceps ruptures predominantly affect males in their third to fifth decade of life who are involved in heavy lifting or manual labor activities. This includes athletes from those in the professional ranks to weekend warriors. They commonly describe a tearing event with the elbow in flexion ...
