Improved visualization of the radial insertion of the biceps tendon at ultrasound with a lateral approach

Eur Radiol. 2009 Jul;19(7):1817-21. doi: 10.1007/s00330-009-1321-x. Epub 2009 Feb 13.

Abstract

We report a new lateral approach for ultrasound visualization of the distal biceps tendon. A cadaver specimen was dissected to study distal biceps anatomy relevant to this approach. Sonograms obtained in volunteers and patients are provided to illustrate this alternative method.
