However, with the current biomechanical and clinical evidence, I do not believe the biceps tendon is necessary for normal shoulder function in most cases. Nikhil N. Verma Melissa L. Carpenter ...

Cause of Bicep Tendonitis In most cases, the biceps tendon can be damaged by normal activities. As we age, our tendons slowly weaken with everyday wear and tear. We can make this degeneration worse by ...

High-Resolution Ultrasound of Rotator Cuff and Biceps Reflection Pulley in Non-elite Junior Tennis Players Anatomical Study ...

A new study showed that ultrasound diagnosis of tenosynovitis (inflammation of the tendon sheath) was superior to clinical symptoms and signs in the prediction of early Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Introduction Three percent of all biceps tendon ruptures occur at the distal aspect, the rupture typically occuring in middle aged males after an eccentric extension load is applied to the elbow.

Discussion and Conclusions The main result of this study shows that in a-symptomatic non-elite junior tennis-players only minor shoulder abnormalities are detectable using high-resolution ultrasound.
