Abstract

Case: A 41-year-old man presented with bilateral distal biceps tendon ruptures at the distal myotendinous junction, sustained in 2 separate incidents 15 months apart. This injury pattern is rare and differs from the more common avulsion from the radial tuberosity. Initial imaging was inconclusive, and the diagnosis was aided by physical examination. He elected to undergo open repair of the right side after persistent weakness with elbow flexion and supination.

Conclusion: This case illustrates an uncommon location of distal biceps rupture and emphasizes the importance of careful clinical evaluation, surgical decision-making, and focused rehabilitation to achieve functional recovery.

期刊介绍： JBJS Case Connector helps improve patient care by providing the medical community with a journal that harnesses technology to provide information tools for discovery and reporting of unusual musculoskeletal problems, findings, treatment, and outcomes. Co-edited by Thomas W. Bauer, MD, PhD, and Ronald W. Lindsey, MD, JBJS Case Connector assists orthopaedic surgeons in the search for precedents, connections, and trends in their efforts to improve patient care. Using this unique journal, surgeons can find the commonalities between cases, benefit from the experience of their peers, and filter case information by many important variables in order to provide the best possible care for orthopaedic patients. This cross-referenced online journal includes thousands of orthopaedic case reports. It compiles symptoms, conditions, and demographic details to empower surgeons to find cases similar to theirs. Surgeons can mine the database to reveal emerging trends and identify patterns, distinguishing between truly rare cases and repeated, related single instances of a larger problem. The JBJS Case Connector Image Quiz feature provides interactive quizzes based on images from content published by JBJS and includes a discussion area for further exploration of ideas and concepts. The JBJS Image Quiz app for iPad and iPhone is available in the App Store. Contributions to JBJS Case Connector are welcomed from anywhere in the world and are considered on their merits.
