Symptoms of Distal Biceps Evulsions

The mechanism involves excessive eccentric tension as the arm is forced from a flex to an extended position, otherwise known as a flexed elbow. Wrist factors for distal biceps evulsions include anabolic steroids and smokers have a seven point five times greater risk than non smoke s. Other rist factors include hypo vascularity, intrinsic degeneration and mechanical impingement in the space available for the biceps tendant.
