We have long been accustomed to treat proximal biceps tendon ruptures with reassurance unless the patient cannot accept the resulting "Popeye" deformity. A recent study hypothesizes that these patients deserve a magnetic resonance imaging scan to identify associated rotator cuff pathology, specifically supraspinatus and subscapularis tendon tears. The authors of this study ask an important question and provide a compelling, if incomplete, answer.
我们长期以来一直习惯于用安慰来治疗肱二头肌肌腱近段撕裂,除非患者不能接受由此产生的“大力水手”畸形。最近的一项研究假设这些患者应该接受磁共振成像扫描,以确定相关的肩袖病变,特别是冈上肌腱和肩胛下肌腱撕裂。这项研究的作者提出了一个重要的问题,并提供了一个引人注目的答案,尽管并不完整。
