attn:

extremity/shoulder whizzes

Does anybody think it is possible

for someone to avulse the short head of the biceps and have almost no pain and

/or discernable strength loss one month out? I won't go into details but I have

pt. that I am pretty certain did as much about as month ago....hematoma and

swelling is gone but to the best of my palp skills i believe i feel the tendon

flopping around in there....the muscle is visibly but slightly 'balled'

up......but really has full strength every which way (per manual testing). I

referred him to ortho but i'm interested? It was one of those things that he

mentioned in passing on the way out the door.... " hey doc what do you make

of this?! "

heh heh

I’ve seen it. Granted, the guy was an older furniture upholsterer so they might have been willing to let it go non-surgical. They allow the other muscles to recruit rather than go through the scarring of re-attaching the biceps.

Call an ortho. They must see this stuff more often than us.

Keep us posted.
