Abstract
The biceps muscle located between the shoulder and ulnar articulations is attached to the bone structures with a tendon, so in case of traumatic impact, the damage may be both in the proximal and distal parts. Most tendon ruptures occur in the proximal biceps, less often distally, in the area of radial tuberosity. The anamnesis and examination data play an important role in the diagnosis of ruptures. But the instrumental diagnostics is used for complete verification of the diagnosis and exclusion of complications or other diseases. The most reliable and comprehensive information is provided by the method of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The article presents analysis of MRI results in a patient with a complete distal biceps tendon rupture with the tendon pulled upward and the muscle retracted. The MRI study could make a correct clear diagnosis, which allowed the patient to immediately contact a specialized professional and to receive qualified assistance in time. Thus, it is shown that high-field MRI makes it possible to solve the problems of identifying the pathological processes and determining their severity with high accuracy.
