Recalcitrant bicipital radial bursitis
1Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Chang-Gung Memorial Hospital at Kaohsiung, Taiwan, Republic of China.
Abstract:
Three of 12 nonrheumatoid patients with bicipital radial bursitis had recurrent and recalcitrant symptoms and underwent operative treatment. Preoperative computed tomogram showed an anterior distended synovial cyst at the level of the radial tubercle. Magnetic resonance imaging provided a superb demonstration of a bicipital radial bursa which communicated with the elbow joint below the annular ligament. Surgical exploration revealed a valvular mechanism between the distended bursa and the joint cavity. Excision of the distended bursa and closing the capsular defect lead to excellent results. An antecubital cyst resulting from an acute or chronic tear of the anterior capsule at the sacciform recess may communicate with the bicipital radial bursa and become the cause of recurrent and recalcitrant symptoms.

Assessment of radial pulse
The radial pulse, located at the wrist, is often the preferred site for assessing peripheral pulse because of its accessibility and dependability. The process of determining the radial pulse involves several steps:

Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius
The radius has a nail-shaped head, and a short...
Muscles that Move the Arm
The pectoralis major has two origins. Its clavicular head originates on the medial half of the clavicle. In contrast, the sternocostal head originates on the costal cartilages of ribs 1-6, the sternum, and the aponeurosis of the external oblique of the...

Forearm Flexors
The biceps brachii, brachialis, and brachioradialis are forearm flexors. The biceps brachii is made up of two heads. Its long head originates at the supraglenoid tubercle of the scapula, whereas that of the short head is...
