The document describes a case of a right long head bicep tendon rupture in an elderly Thai man. It includes details of the patient's history, examination findings, x-ray images showing the abnormality at the right distal humerus, and diagnosis of right long head bicep tendon rupture. It recommends conservative management with a sling and medications.

10. Physical examination
• GA : A elderly Thai man good consciousness, no external
wound
• HEENT : not pale conjunctiva ,anicteric sclera , No wound
on maxillofacial no deformities , No cervical
lymphadenopahy
• Respi : trachea in midline , normal breath sound no
adventiscious sound
11. Physical examination
• Abdomen : seen surgical scar : flat shape, Soft not tender,
normoactive bowel sound
• Musculoskeletal : Rt.arm abnormal mass at distal humerus
not tender , Full active ROM of Rt.shoulder,elbow,wrist
,hand
• Neuro : Grossly intact all, No numbness or weakness both
upper limb , muscle power Rt.elbow flexion power < Lt
side (others equal power Gr.5)
21. Epidermology
• Rare
• Mostly in men (93%)
• Mostly Proximal biceps tendon rupture( Distal
-~10% )
• Rarely associate with median nerve injury
22. Risk factor
• Age : Older > younger. (mostly often occur in Pt
>40 Yr)
• Heavy activity on weightlifting
• Shoulder over use
• Smoking
• Corticosteroid medication
23. • Sign and Symptom
• Sudden sharpe pain and in upper arm with
audible‘‘Pop’’ or ‘‘Snap’’ Cramping of the
bicep
• Weakness in bicep function (Supination..
Flexion of elbow.)
24. • Sign and Symptom
• Bulging of upper arm above elbow
(Popeye sign) => Complete rupture
25. Hook test
• Pt flex the elbow to 90° and to fully supinate the forearm
• using index finger to hook the lateral edge of the biceps tendon.
• false positive
• partial tear
• intact lacertus fibrosis
• underlying brachialis tendon
• sensitivity and specificity 100%
28. Treatment
• Supportive
• Indication
• Older age ,Low demand for bicep function
• Outcome
• Patient will lose strenght of supination(50%) and flexion(30%)
and grip(15%)
