ABSTRACT

A 34-year-old man, with previous anabolic steroid abuse, presented with right shoulder pain following an underhand bowling swing. Examination indicated a Popeye sign of the right biceps, and positive Speeds, Yergason and O'Brian's tests. MRI indicated a complete tear of the intra-articular portion of the long head of biceps tendon (LHBT). Interestingly, the tear occurred within the glenohumeral joint allowing the proximal portion of the LHBT to uniquely coil and fold on itself deep to the subscapularis causing mechanical symptoms. He was treated conservatively with physical therapy but failed to achieve pain relief and proceeded with arthroscopic debridement of the folded portion of the LHBT stump, which significantly improved clinical outcomes at 18 months postoperative. We report the first case of an LHBT tear during bowling in a young adult with a rare occurrence of the proximal portion of the LHBT uniquely coiling and folding on itself deep to the subscapularis.
