The distal biceps tendon can tear, preventing the transmission of forces from the muscle to the forearm bones. While it can happen from repetitive injury in athletes, it more commonly results from ...

NEW ORLEANS — Results presented here showed acute repair of distal biceps tendon ruptures may result in better supination endurance, a lower proportion of complications and a lower rate of ...

Biceps tendon ruptures generally occur in the dominant hand when trying to lift an object from elbow extension to flexion. The average age of injury is 50 years and generally, distal biceps tears ...

One injury common to water sports is distal biceps tendon tears. Distal bicep tendon tears typically result from an eccentric contraction of the biceps.

The trend for spontaneous distal biceps tendon ruptures increased in patients taking statins who were two times more likely to have ruptures. Patients in the spontaneous rupture group were older ...

Introduction The biceps brachii muscle is the primary forearm supinator and a secondary elbow flexor. The pathophysiology of distal tendon ruptures is still unclear. Patients with chronic rupture ...

Biceps Tendon Ruptures/tears at the elbow are a common injury among middle aged and older men. They can also happen in women and younger men as well, but not nearly as often.

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.

Indeed, if it is a proximal biceps tendon tear up by the shoulder, that is a no-brainer to play through after a short absence. However, if it is a distal biceps tendon tear at the elbow, those ...

The FDS tendon was ruptured through the decussation. The tendon's distal end was encased in scar tissue (Fig 2), and the proximal end was not visible through the window and had migrated proximally.

Figure 1: Photographs of a 70-year-old man with biceps tendon rupture. (A) Bilateral comparison with elbow flexion shows hump formation on the right side caused by bulging of the biceps muscle because ...
