OBJECTIVE. The objective of this study was to describe the sonographic appearance of tears of the distal biceps brachii tendon. CONCLUSION. Sonography can reveal complete and partial tears of the distal biceps tendon, thus providing an alternative technique to MR imaging.

To describe the sonographic findings of distal biceps tendon ruptures and to assess the accuracy of the technique.
Distal Biceps Tendon Rupture
Improved visualization of the radial insertion of the biceps tendon at ultrasound with a lateral approach
TLDR
A new lateral approach for ultrasound visualization of the distal biceps tendon is reported, using a cadaver specimen dissected to study distalbiceps anatomy relevant to this approach.
Tear of the distal biceps branchii tendon: a new method of ultrasound evaluation.
TLDR
A new method of ultrasound evaluation of the distal biceps tendon insertion is described, which involves a posterior approach with the forearm pronated, bringing the distals tendon insertion into view.

TLDR
A 57 year old man came to the emergency room with a 3 hour history of severe right antecubital pain precipitated while lifting a heavy object with the elbow at about 90 degrees, and a biceps tendon rupture was suspected.
Rupture of the Distal Insertion of the Biceps Brachii Tendon
TLDR
Cybex testing of the elbow flexion by applying an eccentric load demonstrated that strength and endurance in the repaired dominant arm were roughly equal to the noninjured, non-dominant arm, but thatstrength and endurance of the repaired nondominant arm were only 64% and 50%, respectively, of the non injured dominant arm.
Distal rupture of the tendon of biceps brachii. Evaluation by MRI and the results of repair.
TLDR
One year after operation, dynamometric evaluation of the strength of flexion and supination confirmed that the best results were obtained by reinsertion to the radial tuberosity, thereby reducing the risk of damaging the radial nerve.
Rupture of the distal biceps tendon: evaluation with MR imaging.
TLDR
MR imaging helped confirm distal biceps tendon ruptures because it distinguished complete from partial ruptures and other entities that may mimic ruptures.
Distal biceps tendon injury: MR imaging diagnosis.
TLDR
MR imaging is useful in the evaluation of patients with suspected biceps tendon injury, and axial MR images of the distal biceps insertion are important for accurate grading of the injury.

TLDR
The recent results using high‐resolution real‐time linear‐array equipment indicate that the normal tendons display a specific echogenic longitudinally oriented fibrillar pattern, but the visualization of this normal texture requires a perfect technique of examination.
Bicipitoradial bursitis: MR imaging findings in eight patients and anatomic data from contrast material opacification of bursae followed by routine radiography and MR imaging in cadavers.
TLDR
The anatomy of the bicipitoradial bursa is demonstrated with radiography and MR imaging of bursae and allows accurate diagnosis of bicipitorsadials bursitis and its effects on adjacent structures.
