| Popis: | Distal biceps ruptures occur most commonly in middle-aged males and result from an eccentric extension load that is applied to the elbow. The injury typically presents with pain and a tearing sensation in the antecubital fossa with resultant weakness in flexion and supination strength. The biceps squeeze and hook tests are specific maneuvers by which to diagnose distal biceps ruptures on physical examination. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or ultrasound is helpful to distinguish between partial and complete tears. |
