Abstract

Isolated involvement of the short head of the biceps in a bicipital rupture is a rare injury. The most common location of an isolated short head rupture is through the tendon. The only reported cases of rupture through the short head muscle belly were described in a series by Gilcreest, in which one partial and one complete tear were noted. A rarely observed traumatic rupture of the short head of the biceps muscle belly occurred in a 19-year-old male water-skier. The rupture was successfully treated by surgical repair.
