Introduction: Intrasubstance biceps brachii rupture is a rare injury. Non-operative management of this injury has demonstrated worse outcomes than early operative intervention.
Case Report: We report a case of a traumatic long head of the biceps brachii muscle belly rupture repaired primarily throughthe Kragh technique augmented with human dermal collagen matrix. The patient demonstrated full strength, an intact repair throughclinical exam and magnetic resonance imaging at 6-year follow-up. Dash scoring demonstrated 0 (no disability) out of 100 at this time.
Conclusion: Repair of acute traumatic closed transection of the biceps brachii can be successfully repaired utilizing this technique with excellent post-operative function.

Objective: To objectively quantify changes in muscle properties in chronic stroke survivors and the effects of spasticity and botulinum toxin injections (BoNTi) on muscle properties using ultrasonography.
Design: In this cross-sectional observational study, 24 stroke subjects with history of BoNTi to biceps brachii muscles (BB) but without BoNTi to the triceps (TRI) were included.
Results: 12 subjects had spastic TRI, the other half did not.

Concomitant long head of biceps (LHB) pathologies commonly occur with rotator cuff tears, but LHB problems are often underestimated. There is a lack of studies on the correlation between bicipital groove morphology and biceps pathology, as well as the significance of bony spurs around the groove. This study analyzed the anatomical parameters of the bicipital groove and spur formation using 3D-CT in 111 patients.

This pilot study explored how muscle activation influences the pattern recognition of tactile cues delivered using electrical stimulation (ES) during each 10% window interval of the normal walking gait cycle (GC). Three healthy adults participated in the experiment. After identifying the appropriate threshold, ES as the haptic cue was applied to the gastrocnemius lateralis (GL) and biceps brachii (BB) of participants walking on a treadmill.

The structural and functional characteristics of skeletal muscle fibers play a crucial role in understanding the physical capabilities of dogs, particularly in relation to their breed-specific roles. This study aimed to compare the muscle fiber composition of working and companion dog breeds by analyzing the triceps brachii and biceps femoris muscles, focusing on fiber morphology, myosin heavy chain (MYH) isoform distribution, and nuclei per fiber. A total of 12 dogs, divided equally into working and companion breed groups, were used in this study.
