To review the authors' experience with magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of patients with suspected injury of the distal biceps tendon.
Twenty-one patients with clinically suspected injury of the distal biceps tendon were evaluated with MR imaging. Surgical correlation was performed in 15 patients, and long-term clinical follow-up was performed in the remaining six cases.
Twelve complete biceps tears, four partial tears, one brachialis rupture, and one ganglion were identified. Axial MR images were more valuable than sagittal images in accurately grading distal biceps tendon injury preoperatively. There was 100% agreement between MR imaging and surgical findings. MR imaging findings led to changes in clinical treatment plans in eight patients (38%).
MR imaging is useful in the evaluation of patients with suspected distal biceps tendon injury. In particular, axial MR images of the distal biceps insertion are important for accurate grading of the injury.
回顾作者对疑似肱二头肌远端肌腱损伤患者进行磁共振（MR）成像的经验。
对21例临床疑似肱二头肌远端肌腱损伤的患者进行了MR成像评估。15例患者进行了手术对照，其余6例进行了长期临床随访。
共发现12例肱二头肌完全撕裂、4例部分撕裂、1例肱肌破裂和1例腱鞘囊肿。术前，轴向MR图像在准确分级肱二头肌远端肌腱损伤方面比矢状图像更有价值。MR成像与手术结果的一致性为100%。MR成像结果导致8例患者（38%）的临床治疗方案发生改变。
MR成像有助于评估疑似肱二头肌远端肌腱损伤的患者。特别是，肱二头肌远端附着处的轴向MR图像对于准确分级损伤很重要。
