Lateral Dislocation of the Tendon of the Long Biceps Brachii-A Case Report

Abstract

Although a number of cases of spontaneous medial dislocation of the long head of the biceps brachii muscle have been reported, lateral dislocation of this tendon has not. We describe a man with habitual lateral dislocation of the long head of the biceps tendon, and discuss the pathomechanics of this unusual condition. Enhanced computed tomography was useful for diagnosis in this case.
