<div>Ultrasound of the distal biceps tendon</div>
<p>The distal biceps tendon (dBT) is an elbow flexor, and it is involved in supination. The biceps muscle is innervated by the musculocutaneous nerve (C5, C6). Performing ultrasound diagnostics of the dBT, the patient ideally lies in the supine position on an examination couch with padding of the arm, if necessary. Alternatively, the examination can be performed in the sitting position. The arm is initially positioned in extension for static side comparison and dynamic analysis (flexion-extension, pronation-supination) of all structures on the anterior (cubital) elbow. The forearm is in the supination position. It is recommended to start the examination in the middle of the upper arm, and examine the structures continuously up to the ventral/anterior forearm in the transverse plane. This involves assessing both the osseous structures and the complete soft tissue. The easy-to-find trochlea humeri and the capitulum humeri with the hypoechoic hyaline cartilage serve as landmarks when assessing, for example, the soft tissue, the joint capsule or the joint cavity in the anterior elbow. The biceps tendon, the brachial artery, the median nerve, the deep brachial muscle, the ulnar-sided pronator teres muscle and the radial sided supinator muscle, the radial nerve (Fig. <a ref-type="fig" href="#j_jou.2020.0021_fig_001">1</a>), and the anterior interosseous nerve can be assessed. The authors do not examine in consideration of probe positions, because we focus exclusively on the ultrasound image and orient ourselves to the anatomical landmarks in ultrasound images. The examination is dynamic and functional, so it must be documented on video (Video 1 – available at <ext-link xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.jultrason.pl">www.jultrason.pl</ext-link>).</p>

<p>The flat dBT is approximately 6 to 7 cm long, 6 mm wide, and 3 mm thick<sup>(<a ref-type="bibr" href="#j_jou.2020.0021_ref_001">1</a>)</sup>. The distal biceps tendon moves obliquely from anterior to posterior, and from medial to lateral, with the dBT rotating 90°, so that the anterior surface points to the side. As the forearm moves from supination to pronation, the radial tuberosity shifts from medial to posterior position. The biceps tendon winds around the radius and compresses the bursa situated in between. The dBT is covered by an extrasynovial paratenon and by the bicipitoradial bursa. The bursa is normally not visible by high-resolution musculoskeletal ultrasound, unless it is filled with some amount of synovial fluid.</p>
<p>Various approaches for optimal sonographic assessment of the dBT have been suggested in the literature<sup>4)</sup>:</p>
<list list-type="bullet">
<list-item>
<p>anterior approach (we do not recommend it for the completely distal sections, the reason being that it is often painful for the patient and not sensitive enough, with too many anisotropy artifacts)</p>
</list-item>
<list-item>
<p>lateral access (through the brachio-radialis muscle and through the supinator muscle = supinator window)</p>
</list-item>
<list-item>
<p>medial access (through the pronator teres muscle = pronator window)</p>
</list-item>
<list-item>
<p>posterior approach (through the anconeus muscle)</p>
</list-item>
</list>
<p>The dBT is most easily examined at the beginning of medial longitudinal in the supination position of the forearm, in an approx. 20 to 30° flexion position in the elbow joint. We examine through the musculus pronator teres, with evaluation of the dBT up to the distal insertion at the radius. We recommend using the radius as a bony landmark. Generally, simple visualization of the distal biceps tendon at the radial insertion point is possible by visualizing the radial artery simultaneously with the radius (Fig. <a ref-type="fig" href="#j_jou.2020.0021_fig_002">2</a>).</p>

<p>The assessment of the insertion at the radius below the supinator muscle is ideally performed by scanning through the supinator muscle. The forearm is maximally pronated, and the wrist is flexed. Both the lateral and posterior approaches are suitable for this purpose.</p>
<p>The insertion of the dBT is located at the radial tuberosity and a part at the fascia antebrachii (lacertus fibrosus). The entheseal medial insertion can be divided anatomically and sonographically into two sections. The distal tendon of the long head (lBT) inserts in the proximal section of the radial tuberosity, while the distal tendon of the short head (sBT) is located more distally (Fig. <a ref-type="fig" href="#j_jou.2020.0021_fig_003">3</a>)<sup>(<a ref-type="bibr" href="#j_jou.2020.0021_ref_002">2</a>)</sup>.

<p>Ruptures of the dBT are best visualized in the long axis, and they appear as an anechoic or hypoechogenic discontinuity of tendon fibers with or without retraction and surrounding hypoechoic fluid (e.g. inside the bicipitoradial bursa) or isoechoic hematoma (Fig. <a ref-type="fig" href="#j_jou.2020.0021_fig_005">5</a>). The degree of tendon retraction is not necessarily an indicator of the condition of the lacertus fibrosus, so it must be assessed separately<sup>(<a ref-type="bibr" href="#j_jou.2020.0021_ref_004">4</a>)</sup>. The detailed assessment of the biceps tendon footprint supports, due to high anatomical variation of the position and shape of the tuberosity and insertion of the long biceps tendon, among other things, surgical reconstruction (including bone tunnels, suture anchors)<sup>(<a ref-type="bibr" href="#j_jou.2020.0021_ref_005">5</a>–<a ref-type="bibr" href="#j_jou.2020.0021_ref_007">7</a>)</sup>.

<p>A partial or complete rupture of the dBT can be visualized by high-resolution musculoskeletal ultrasound or MR. In cases of partial tears (less than 50% affected)<sup>(<a ref-type="bibr" href="#j_jou.2020.0021_ref_005">5</a>)</sup>, patients are usually treated conservatively<sup>(<a ref-type="bibr" href="#j_jou.2020.0021_ref_006">6</a>,<a ref-type="bibr" href="#j_jou.2020.0021_ref_007">7</a>)</sup>. However, there is a high failure rate (up to 56%) in patients with partial ruptures involving more than 50% of the dBT and in patients with a high physical load and repetitive activities<sup>(<a ref-type="bibr" href="#j_jou.2020.0021_ref_008">8</a>)</sup>. For this reason, surgical treatment of partial lesions involving more than 50% of the dBT is recommended.</p>
<p>In cases of complete rupture, open refixation is recommended in most patients. Surgically treated patients have a better function<sup>(<a ref-type="bibr" href="#j_jou.2020.0021_ref_009">9</a>–<a ref-type="bibr" href="#j_jou.2020.0021_ref_011">11</a>)</sup>. Various factors should be considered when deciding on therapy, including the activity level, comorbidities, hand dominance, and risk-benefit ratio<sup>(<a ref-type="bibr" href="#j_jou.2020.0021_ref_010">10</a>)</sup>. Conservative treatment is an option for patients with low functional demands and needs (“low functional demands”) or with relevant comorbidities. These patients, however, show clinically relevant deficits in various activities<sup>(<a ref-type="bibr" href="#j_jou.2020.0021_ref_009">9</a>)</sup> e.g. 40% loss of supination power, and 30% loss of flexion power<sup>(<a ref-type="bibr" href="#j_jou.2020.0021_ref_012">12</a>)</sup>.</p>
<p>A number of open and endoscopic surgical techniques have been described and suggested in the literature. The so-called open “single incision” technique is more widely used in Europe (Fig. <a ref-type="fig" href="#j_jou.2020.0021_fig_006">6</a>). However, various biomechanical studies point to possible imperfect anatomical readaptation when using this technique. The “double incision” technique involves open refixation: the first anterior incision is made to locate the dBT, and the second posterior incision is made to fix it to the radial tuberosity<sup>(<a ref-type="bibr" href="#j_jou.2020.0021_ref_013">13</a>)</sup>. Endoscopic refixation techniques have also been reported<sup>(<a ref-type="bibr" href="#j_jou.2020.0021_ref_014">14</a>)</sup>.</p>

<p>Intraoperative and postoperative complications may occur in up to 25% of cases<sup>(<a ref-type="bibr" href="#j_jou.2020.0021_ref_015">15</a>)</sup>. A postoperative rupture is described in approximately 2.5% of cases<sup>(<a ref-type="bibr" href="#j_jou.2020.0021_ref_016">16</a>)</sup>. Neuroapraxia of the N. cutaneus lateralis antebrachii (a sensitive branch of the N. musculocutaneus) can occur in up to 10% of cases with excessive traction during surgery. The complication is usually temporary, with restitutio ad integrum. Other complications, such as injury to the interosseus posterior nerve (PIN), heterotopic ossifications, and radioulnar synostoses, are possible. Heterotopic ossifications occur less commonly with the above mentioned “single incision” technique compared to the “double incision” technique (7%), but are often clinically irrelevant<sup>(<a ref-type="bibr" href="#j_jou.2020.0021_ref_017">17</a>)</sup>.</p>

<div>Conclusions</div>
<p>High-resolution musculoskeletal ultrasound with an axial and lateral resolution of up to 0.1 mm allows a differentiated assessment of the two parts of the distal biceps tendon, and thus the detection of different pathologies (Tab. <a ref-type="table" href="#j_jou.2020.0021_tab_001">1</a>)<sup>(<a ref-type="bibr" href="#j_jou.2020.0021_ref_018">18</a>)</sup>. Due to high diagnostic accuracy of high-resolution musculoskeletal ultrasound, isolated lesions of one of the two components of the dBT can be distinguished, which may determine the clinical management of e.g. young patients from surgical to conservative treatment. A timely and accurate diagnosis allows earlier refixation, which in turn leads to better functional results with a low postoperative complication rate.</p>
