“…On average, ruptures preceded the diagnosis of heart failure by 5 years. Complete rupture after periarticular corticosteroid injection, use of oral anabolic steroids, chronic prednisone use, and the diagnosis of Cushing syndrome also has been reported 1,19-21 .…”

Distal biceps tendon (DBT) tears occur most commonly in middleaged men after a sudden, forced eccentric contraction of the flexed elbow. » An understanding of the multiple risk factors, mechanisms, and pathophysiological causes is essential for proper and timely diagnosis. » High clinical suspicion and routine physical examination with appropriate special examination tests, including the hook test, the passive forearm pronation test, the biceps crease interval test, and the bicipital aponeurosis flex test, can help with rapid and accurate diagnosis and guide appropriate and timely management.

“…Almost 13% (n = 2 of 16) of athletes reported a history of steroid use prior to rupture, with one athlete sustaining bilateral ruptures reporting long-term anabolic-androgenic steroid abuse beginning six years before rupture [ 23 ]. Meanwhile, one athlete reported long-term systemic steroid use secondary to medical necessity due to asthma, hypothyroidism and ulcerative colitis [ 29 ]. Three athletes denied steroid use [ 10 , 22 , 27 ] while explicit acknowledgment or denial of steroid use was not provided in five studies [ 7 , 24 , 25 , 27 , 28 ].…”

Complete, isolated ruptures of the distal biceps brachii sustained during athletic activities are uncommon. A systematic review of the literature was performed to identify complete distal biceps brachii tears experienced during athletic activities to determine injury prevalence, athletic activities/mechanisms responsible for injury and return to activity timing following operative management. A total of 10 studies, comprising 16 athletes undergoing surgery for 18 cases, were identified. Injuries were predominately associated with weightlifting. Injuries were treated utilizing a single incision in 56% of cases and primary repair performed in 89% of cases. Mean time to return to activity was 4.86 ± 1.14months. Athletes undergoing surgery ≤ 10 days following injury and those undergoing primary repair returned to activity significantly quicker. Isolated tears of the distal biceps remain uncommon during athletic activities, occurring primarily during weightlifting. Return to activity timing was not significantly delayed based on surgical approach, steroid use, or athlete age.
