A biceps tendon rupture or bicep tear is a complete or partial rupture of a tendon of the biceps brachii muscle. It can affect any of the three biceps brachii tendons - the proximal tendon of the short head of the muscle belly , the proximal tendon of the long head of the muscle belly, or the distal tendon.
The Pronator teres test is an indication of the syndrome—the patient reports pain when attempting to pronate the forearm against resistance while extending the elbow simultaneously. The physician may notice an enlarged pronator teres muscle.
Tendinitis is a type of overuse injury to the tendons, which demonstrates signs of inflammation of tendons around a joint. Tendinitis is the most common cause of shoulder pain and also leg pain . Tendinitis occurs when there is repetitive stress on the subacromial bursa, which causes the bones to make contact with the tendons and irritate them.
[1] [2] Repetitive activity leads to recurrent microtears within the flexor tendon, with remodeling of the collagen fibers and an increase in the amount of mucoid ground substance. [1] As a result, scar tissue formation and thickening of the tendon lead to reduced collagen strength and pain with repetitive use. [1]
The theory is that the radial nerve becomes irritated and/or inflamed from friction caused by compression by muscles in the forearm. [1]Some speculate that radial tunnel syndrome is a type of repetitive strain injury (RSI), but there is no detectable pathophysiology and even the existence of this disorder is questioned.
The bicipital aponeurosis originates from the distal insertion of the biceps brachii, and inserts into the deep fascia of the forearm. [1] The biceps tendon inserts on the radial tuberosity, and the bicipital aponeurosis lies medially to it. [2] It reinforces the cubital fossa, helping to protect the brachial artery and the median nerve running ...
Unfortunately, arm injuries, carpal tunnel and wrist arthritis are all incredibly common. A recent study found that over a ten-year period, an average of 2.6 million people with wrist injuries ...
A harvested tendon, such as the palmaris tendon [11] from the forearm of the same or opposite elbow, the patellar tendon, hamstring, toe extensor or a donor's tendon , is then woven in a figure-eight pattern through the holes and anchored. [10] The ulnar nerve is usually moved to prevent pain, as scar tissue can apply pressure to the nerve. [11]
