  • Here I show you a biceps rupture evaluation and how I have modified the way I evaluate it to isolate a rupture especially in those who have ruptures but are not as easy to identify. I also throw in a few biceps evaluation pearls to help identify the rupture and talk about how to treat a biceps rupture.

    I don't find it to be very reliable but I do teach it in my CME courses. Also, putting the arm up actively right after injury can be pretty painful. thanks for commentingâ˜ș

    My right bicep has gotten pointy from an injury. It’s been a week now and now it’s starting to harden up on the “inside” 😊

    I think I got a partial distal tear about a year ago. The injury was very painless but I knew something was wrong. Doctor did an ultrasound and found nothing and I have done physio and it makes it feel better but it gets reinjured easily. It seems like the muscle has slid up slightly towards the shoulder and I have lost much supination strength. I am a power lifter but can’t lift anymore I feel like I need surgery.

    I tore my biceps in both arms like this and my doctor didn't perform surgery. He actually advised against it saying it didst offer much outside of making the biceps look normal. Should i seek a second opinion?

    Does a tear or partial tear always bruise?
    What would the pain level be from 1-10?

    • @OrthoEvalPal
      @OrthoEvalPal  Pƙed 3 lety +3

      They don't always bruise but they do most of the time. Usually the pain isn't too dramatic. People panic about the noise it makes when it pops. Good questions!

    • @OrthoEvalPal
      @OrthoEvalPal  Pƙed 3 lety +1

      Hi Karmanpreet, That is the more common tear of the biceps and many people live the rest of their lives with that one torn and they do very well because there is the other biceps tendon that usually stays attached and therer is a muscle beneath it that bends the elbow too. Should feel better after 6 weeks but should see a doctor just to make sure there isn't something else going on.

      3 years late, but Luddington’s is indeed a good way to suspect the long biceps head rupture. I use sonographies to search for the tendon, and the luddington test has been positive each time the tendon is missing in the bicipital groove.

    Does all bunching of the long head bicep mean a rupture or could it be a tear that can heal overtime ?

    • @OrthoEvalPal
      @OrthoEvalPal  Pƙed rokem

      If it's bunched up and the other one isn't, then probably. Some partial tears will heal themselves but can be susceptible to complete rupture.

      ​@@OrthoEvalPal I had mine checked today at the doctors because of the Popeye muscle, my long head tendon is still in tact as the doctor was able to locate it and feel it not being ruptured. I can supinate my hand through resistance which contracts my long head but it is definitely a little bit lower so I'm going to the A&E shortly so they can do a scan, my doctor believes it could be a partial tear which may require surgery. Will provide an update later for anyone interested.

    • @OrthoEvalPal

      They can be fixed by some shoulder specialist but there really is no need to. You can function well without the long head. They are often such a big pain generator that surgeons with just cut them off and let it drop if it is partially torn.

    • @affordableaquariumservices1663
      @affordableaquariumservices1663 Pƙed 5 lety +1

      @@OrthoEvalPal your wrong. If not fixed looks deformed and you will for sure loose 20% strenghth. Also deal with lots of cramping. I know 6 people who tore proximal bicep. 3 had surgery way better result. 3 didnt big regret

    • @OrthoEvalPal
      @OrthoEvalPal  Pƙed 5 lety +1

      Studies show that the difference between doing a tenodesis vs tenotomy is that there is more cramping after the tenotomy. Very few people have the proximal long head reattached to the original foot print. Yes you will lose some strength, especially with supination. It's really about patient preference. Now, distal biceps tears should almost always be repaired if they are of appropriate age. Much more functional loss there. Thanks for the input.
