"Distal biceps tendon injuries are far less common than injuries to the proximal biceps tendon with an incidence of approximately 1.2/100000 1,2. They typically occur in middle-aged men with a peak at around 50 years of age 1-3."

"The distal biceps tendon can be evaluated in the FABS position in two longitudinal views 3,7,10,11 (some consider this the gold standard imaging test 14) or with oblique coronal images besides the normal sagittal planes with the elbow resting close to the body 3."
"Conservative, non-operative management is usually associated with significant declines in supination and elbow flexion strength and therefore reserved for patients with either strain and/or partial tears, significant peri-operative risks or low functional demands 1."
Expected headings
"Associations"
"Distal biceps tendon injuries refer to strains, partial and complete tears of the distal biceps tendon complex."
"Treatment options include non-operative, conservative or surgical management with distal biceps tendon repair or reconstruction."
