Symptoms of a Distal Biceps Evulsion

The lacertus fibrosis originates from the distal short head of the biceps tendon. It is continuous with the deep fascia of the flexor tendon origin, and envelops the flexor muscle bellies. The long head has an independent function to prevent anterior, inferior and superior translation of the humeral head against the proximate pule of the short head ofthe biceps. Symptoms include weakness and pain, primarily, and supenation, which are all hall marks of the injury. Non operative treatment can be followed by physical therapy in older patients or sedentary patients who are willing to sacrifice function for comfort. Operative options for bisub evulsions include surgical repair
