ABSTRACT: Distal biceps tendon rupture
accounts for only 3% - 10% of all biceps tendon injuries. The majority of
distal biceps tendon injuries are from complete rupture. It is especially rare
to diagnose partial rupture of the distal biceps tendon. Our case profiles a
chronic partial tear of the distal biceps tendon in a pediatric patient.
