Ultrasound assessment of the distal biceps tendon is challenging. The tendon has two
components which are continuations of the long and short heads of the muscle, and these …

The biceps brachii myotendinous unit is a common source of shoulder, arm, and elbow pain.
Its complex anatomy can present a challenge when interpreting MR images. We discuss the …

Purpose The lacertus fibrosus (or bicipital aponeurosis) is a potential site of proximal
median neuropathy at the elbow. Lacertus syndrome with motor and/or sensory symptoms …

Background: Capacitive-resistive electric transfer therapy is an interesting rehabilitation
treatment to use in musculoskeletal injuries. The purpose is to analyze the temperature …

Background: The bicipital aponeurosis (BA) can often be torn concomitantly with a distal
biceps tendon (DBT) rupture. Its repair, although recommended by some, has not commonly …

Objectives To determine which sonographic appearance of the distal biceps brachii tendon
(DBBT) is preferred by readers, and if images obtained by two different operators are …

Introduction: Biceps tendinosis, a milder form on the spectrum of biceps tendinopathy, is
unusual at the distal insertion site. Patients with distal biceps tendinosis may experience …

Tendon injuries at the elbow affect mostly the distal biceps and can progressively
degenerate over time or rupture in an acute event. The degree of retraction may depend on …

Ultrasound is a strong diagnostic and therapeutic tool for the elbow joint. Existing guidelines
and protocols list relevant structures to be scanned but lack some logical connection and …

Arterial entrapment syndrome (AES) at the elbow level is very rare. In cases of acute upper
extremity ischaemia presenting in middle-aged patients with evident muscular hypertrophy …
