Reason: Evaluate for tear of the biceps tendon History: Pain, limited flexion with arm supinated, no improvement TENDONS: There is intermediate signal intensity within the distal biceps tendon at the level of its insertion on the radial tuberosity indicating tendinosis. There is a linear fluid signal intensity at the level of the insertion of the biceps tendon indicating a partial thickness tear (image 24; series 9). The brachialis tendon appears intact. The triceps tendon appears intact.ARTICULAR SURFACES AND BONE: No bone marrow signal abnormality is identified. SURROUNDING STRUCTURES: There is nonspecific subcutaneous edema along the dorsal aspect of the olecranon.ADDITIONAL
Biceps tendinosis with a partial-thickness insertional tear without evidence of a full-thickness tear or retraction. Supracondylar process without findings to suggest a median nerve neuritis/entrapment.
