Chronic Partial Rupture of Distal Biceps Tendon in an Adolescent―A Case Report

Abstract

Distal biceps tendon rupture accounts for only 3% -10% of all biceps tendon injuries. The majority of distal biceps tendon injuries are from complete rupture. It is especially rare to diagnose partial rupture of the distal biceps tendon. Our case profiles a chronic partial tear of the distal biceps tendon in a pediatric patient.
