Zusammenfassung

Luxationen der langen Bizepssehne sind in der Regel mit einer kompletten oder partiellen Ruptur der Rotatorenmanschette der betroffenen Seite assoziiert. Wir berichten unseres Wissens nach erstmalig über einen Patienten mit bilateraler, habitueller, fixierter und nichtschmerzhafter Bizepssehnenluxation. Durch die funktionelle Ultraschalldiagnostik wurde die Stellung der korrekten Diagnose vereinfacht und beschleunigt.

Abstract

In general, dislocations of the long head of the biceps tendon are associated with partial or complete rotator cuff rupture on the side of the affected shoulder. We report about a patient with bilateral fixed and painless dislocation of the tendon of the long biceps head. By using functional ultrasound, correct diagnosis was facilitated and accelerated.
