Partial rupture of the distal biceps tendon.
TL;DR: Only one patient needed surgery, with reinsertion of the tendon resulting in total functional recovery, and the typical appearance was a partially ruptured biceps tendon, with contrast enhancement signaling the degree of degeneration, tenosynovitis, and soft tissue swelling extending along the tendon semicircular to the proximal radius.

The role of the bicipital groove in tendopathy of the long biceps tendon
TL;DR: The study revealed statistically significant correlations between groove anatomy and long biceps tendon disease, which should be considered more while shoulder problems are evaluated.
