Complete biceps tendon rupture resulting in radial head subluxation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The authors report this case of a 48-year-old male patient sustaining a complete tear of the biceps tendon and associated radial head subluxation. A restriction of supination-pronation of the forearm was noted as a result of the radial head subluxation. The complete tear of the biceps tendon was treated conservatively and the radial head subluxation corrected itself.

The efficacy of ultrasound in the diagnosis of long head of the biceps tendon pathology.
The use of shoulder ultrasound as an imaging modality has recently gained widespread attention; however, the ability of ultrasound to diagnose long head of the biceps tendon pathology accurately still remains unclear. The biceps tendons in 71 patients were prospectively evaluated by comparison of standard ultrasonographic and arthroscopic examinations. Arthroscopic examination was used as the g...
متن کاملClassification and analysis of pathology of the long head of the biceps tendon in complete rotator cuff tears.
BACKGROUND Pathology of the long head of the biceps tendon (LHB) is commonly associated with rotator cuff tears (RCTs). Superior labral anterior-posterior (SLAP) lesions can also occur with RCTs. The purpose of this study was to include SLAP lesions as part of LHB pathology in surgical cases of RCT and define the role of SLAP lesions in RCTs. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated clinical data...
متن کاملTreatment of the painful biceps tendon—Tenotomy or tenodesis?
ont matter & 2006 006.06.007 thor. Summary The function of the long head of biceps tendon in the shoulder remains controversial. Pathology of the biceps tendon such as tenosynovitis, subluxation and pre-rupture are intimately associated with rotator cuff disease. Treatment therefore varies widely among surgeons and range from non-operative management to biceps tenotomy or tenodesis. The purpose...
متن کاملRole of the Juncturae Tendinum in Preventing Radial Subluxation of the Extensor Communis Tendons after Ulnar Sagittal Band Rupture: A Cadaveric Study
Background. Radial subluxation of the extensor communis tendons at the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints is a rarely reportedvinjury. These injuries have proved difficult to reproduce in cadaveric studies and have a low biomechanical likelihood of occurrence due to the ulnar direction of pull of the extensor communis tendons. It has been suggested that the juncturae tendinum may have a stabilisi...
متن کاملArthroscopic-assisted biceps tenodesis for ruptures of the long head of biceps brachii: The cobra procedure.
A number of open procedures have been presented in the literature that described the repair of the ruptured long head of biceps brachii (LHBB). Although arthroscopic biceps tenodesis techniques have been used to address partial tears or subluxation of the biceps, no arthroscopic technique to assist in the treatment of complete retracted ruptures of the LHBB has been described. This article desc...
