Gilcreest 6 in 1939 reported that distal biceps tendon ruptures account for only 3% of all biceps brachii tendon ruptures.. Reports have advocated conservative treatment of distal biceps tendon ruptures.

He recommended routine tenodesis of the biceps to the brachialis because of the risks associated with anatomic repair from the surrounding neurovascular structures within the antecubital fossa. I started to feel big weakness and pain in the brachialis distal tendon, made another ultrasound evaluation and an MRI (I was worried about bicep distal tendon rupture) and the doctor said that looks like the tendon is not broken/cut and seems still inserted in the radial, but "there is a vast area of disomogeneity (alteration of signal) at the .

Abstract- Distal biceps tendon rupture is a fairly uncommon injury but the incidence has risen with the associated increase in recreational activities in the 40 to 60 year old age group. Although ACL reconstruction is considered by many as the gold-standard treatment for patients who want to return to football, there are situations when non-operative treatment may suffice. The tear can be complete (the tendon has torn completely away from the bone) or partial. Found insideA method for reinsertion of the distal biceps brachii tendon.

In 28 cases, anatomical reattachment of the tendon was performed. In conclusion, further studies are needed to better understand the epidemiology of this entity, its pathogenesis, and possible need for surgery. The anatomy and function of the brachialis muscle and possible mechanism of injury are also discussed. Based on the results obtained in our two cases, we suggest that people who engage in recreational sports and suffer a rupture of the distal biceps brachii musculotendinous junction can achieve satisfactory functional results without either surgical treatment or directed physical therapy. MATERIAL AND METHODS 43 cases were reviewed from Fort de France, Paris, Marseille, Lyon and Suresnes. the differential diagnosis, radiographic findings, and methods used that led, to the diagnosis and also provide a comprehensive review of the literature on, management consisting of a period of rest and physical therapy, had progressed to full strength and had returned to all weightlifting activities, at final follow-up. weekend athlete to world-class professional players. His MEPS score was also 100. Distal biceps tendon tear is a condition in which the distal biceps tendon (i.e., the tendon that connects the biceps muscle to the bone of the elbow) is ruptured or torn. A.

This book provides readers with detailed guidance on the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of injuries and disorders of the elbow, including dislocation, complex instability, articular fractures, epicondylitis and epitrochleitis, distal ... The ma-jority of these ruptures occur in the dominant extremity of male patients between the ages of thirty and sixty years. This chapter will explore the best available scientific evidence in using MRI to assess ACL healing and graft maturation during rehabilitation, as an additional tool to guide ACL-injured footballers to safely return to competition. 1).

Rupture of the distal tendon of the biceps brachii muscle is rare, accounting for only 3% of all biceps tendon tears [1, 2].Distal biceps tendon rupture is usually easily diagnosed on physical examination, presenting as a palpable defect in the antecubital fossa, a palpable mass in the anterior aspect of the arm corresponding to the retracted tendon, and a weakness of flexion and supination. partial distal biceps avulsion.

In 11 cases the tendon was simply attached to the brachialis anterior muscle . As measured with magnetic resonance imaging, this mass was approximately seven centimeters in length, four centimeters in width, and three centimeters in anteroposterior diameter. conversion disorder and was able to return to full competition following psychotherapy and physical therapy. To regain tendon length and avoid flexion contractures, reconstruction with graft augmentation has been proposed as an alternative for cases not amenable to primary repair. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a complete tear of the supraspinatus, Exercise-related syncope may result from various underlying medical conditions, with vasovagal reactions being the most common cause in young athletes.

The, similar presentation to the more commonly, reported conditions such as a distal biceps, brachii tendon tear or an intramuscular tu. The first case report, by Van Den Berghe, presented a male who was clinically diagnosed with a tear of the biceps brachii muscle after lifting a heavy . There is growing evidence to suggest that ACL rupture in children is more common than previously thought and a poor outcome is associated with conservative management. This condition was not observed in any of the cases reported by Schamblin and Safran [4] who did, however, note that three of the six cases had a history of recreational weightlifting. However, the selective involvement of muscles by a tuberculous process without coexisting active skeletal or extraskeletal tuberculosis is rarely seen. The biceps brachii muscle is superficial to the brachialis and its long distal tendon is not surrounded by muscle, making it more susceptible to injury than the brachialis muscle. Clinical examination combined with conventional radiographs, ultrasound and MRI, confirmed the diagnosis. Surgery is therefore recommended for virtually all complete tears in active persons and for incomplete tears when there is concomitant loss of .

Along the triceps tendon injury continuum, partial tears are the most common triceps injury comprising around 23% of the distal triceps tendon injuries. These posts are meant to be short and concise to answer those questions.
