This case demonstrates that when a patient's occupation and lifestyle do not require a high degree of supination and upper arm strength, conservative treatment may be the way to go.

Clinical history and a physical examination can raise suspicion for LHB rupture, but magnetic resonance imaging should be performed to confirm the diagnosis and evaluate for any concomitant pathology, the most common of which is a rotator cuff tear.

Post-operative biceps cramping persists in almost one-third of patients and significantly impacts PROMs, and patient activity level and the use of suture anchor technique forTenodesis were independent predictors of improved biceps tenodesis outcome scores.
Biceps Augmentation Using Solid Silicone Implants

Biceps augmentation with a solid silicone implant can increase upper arm volume and correct asymmetry and deformity resulting from muscle injury and submuscular biceps implant placement is recommended over subfascial insertion to avoid implant malposition.
