title: [Rupture of biceps tendon after injection of steroid].
abstract: A case of distal rupture of the biceps tendon preceded by injection of steroid on account of lateral epicondylitis three and five months previously is presented. This complication is extremely rare although the treatment is extensively employed. It is recommended that steroid should not be employed as the first choice. In addition active measures should be employed to avoid recurrence.
