Complete Rupture of Both Heads of the Biceps Brachii Muscle Belly by Blunt Trauma
نویسندگان
چکیده
A young adult male pedestrian was struck by a car and sustained a closed complete rupture of both heads of the biceps brachii muscle belly, among other injuries. Rupture of the biceps brachii muscle belly is a rare injury, and complete muscle belly rupture of both long and short heads from direct blunt force trauma has not been reported outside of military parachutists. We describe the findings on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of this injury.

متن کاملAn aberrant tendo-aponeurotic extension of biceps brachii muscle: a possible factor for neurovascular compression in the antebrachium
Introduction Biceps brachii is described as a superficial muscle in the anterior compartment of the arm. It is a flexor of the elbow joint and a powerful supinator of the forearm. Standard anatomical textbooks describe the muscle as arising by two heads, a long and a short head arising from the supraglenoid tubercle and coracoid process of scapula, respectively. The two heads form a common bell...

BACKGROUND Electromechanical delay is the time lag between onsets of muscle activation and muscle force production and reflects both electro-chemical processes and mechanical processes. The aims of the present study were two-fold: to experimentally determine the slack length of each head of the biceps brachii using elastography and to determine the influence of the length of biceps brachii on e...
