Brachial distal biceps injuries.

Brachial distal biceps injuries. Phys Sportsmed. 2019 May 30;:1-5 Authors: Krumm D, Lasater P, Dumont G, Menge TJ Abstract Distal biceps injuries are a relatively uncommon clinical condition that typically affect middle-aged males. They commonly occur due to an eccentric overload as the arm is forced from a flexed to extended position. Patients may experience an acute 'pop' and present with arm pain, swelling, and ecchymosis. Treatment options include nonoperative management or surgical repair. The aim of this concise review of distal biceps ruptures is to examine the relevant anatomy, clinical evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment options for these injuries.
