Improved visualization of the radial insertion of the biceps tendon at ultrasound with a lateral approach.
We report a new lateral approach for ultrasound visualization of the distal biceps tendon. A cadaver specimen was dissected to study distal biceps anatomy relevant to this approach. Sonograms obtained in volunteers and patients are provided to illustrate this alternative method.
