Rupture tendon bicipitalis

mr B.A 30 y.o, came to me a week ago, with chief complaint pain at his left arm . He noticed, pain began after he cought a ball 10 days before.

I found the bulk of his bicep not properly at the site. I asked him to use arm sling and send him to radiologist to do USG -soft tissue . The result: partial rupture tendon. The pain gone , after he use arm sling.

I found the diameter of his biceps, less 2,5 cm than the right one. The bulk of his left side look normal as his right side, but diameter less as about 2.5 cm.

I asked him to began exercise, first with isometric without anya bend at his elbow. The with slihgt bend, gradually after a week.
