Discussion

Surgery was 8 weeks ago. You can see the stump on the coronal next to the tenodesis screw. No tendon near the screw and you can see the retracted tendon further inferiorly. I have found that when a surgeon feels a mass that appeared suddenly with trauma and suspects a retracted tendon tear, they are usually right.

Diagnosis

Tear of tendon of long head of biceps brachii sp tenodesis (RID1944)
