👉 https://rdar.li/4Y3K8Dr What is distal bicep tendon pain?

Pain originating from the distal bicep tendon causes pain predominantly at the front of the elbow. It is common in weight lifters, manual workers and those participating in racquet sports. It is more common in men, aged 20-40 years old, particularly those who lift heavy weights in the gym.

Distal bicep tendon pain can be secondary to a tear, a rupture or a tendinopathy. A tear is more likely if you have had a specific incident or injury where you can remember injuring the elbow, otherwise they can occur for no apparent reason. It is important to have a diagnostic ultrasound to confirm the extent of the injury. A majority of distal bicep tendon injuries respond well to physiotherapy and activity modification (relative rest). If they fail to improve, ultrasound-guided injection therapy and/or shockwave treatment can provide fast, effective pain relief. Surgical intervention is reserved for ruptured tendons i.e., when the two ends of the tendon are no longer connected.
