Heterotopic Ossification Following Distal Biceps Tendon Repair: A Case Report

Abstract

A fit and healthy 54 year old surf lifesaver presented to the Emergency Department with an injury to his right upper limb. Whilst trying to hold on to a wayward boat by its rope, he felt a ripping sensation and severe pain over his distal biceps tendon. The clinical picture of complete rupture of distal biceps tendon was confirmed by Ultrasound Scan.
