Case 154 Asset 1 Proximal Biceps Tendinopathy

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This ultrasound review from a sports medicine physician examines proximal biceps tendinopathy. In long-axis view, the proximal long head of the biceps tendon appears thickened, consistent with tendinopathy, with surrounding tenosynovitis visible around the tendon and humerus. In short-axis view, the tendon is again shown with tenosynovitis encasing it near the greater and lesser tuberosities. The dynamic images demonstrate the tendon’s proximal thickening and a gradual decrease in tendon size as the scan moves distally.
