Ultrasound longitudinal view of distal biceps brachii tendon tear (a). A month later, MRI fat-suppressed proton-density sagittal (b), axial (c), and forearm supinated (FABS) position (d) sequences were performed. Complete full-thickness tear of the distal tendon of the short head of the biceps brachii is visible, with retracted and thickened torn end at the MTJ (white arrow). Some isolated fibers of the partially torn long-head tendon are visible in the radial tuberosity (orange arrow).
