Abstract
Few complications from tenodesis of the long head of the biceps brachii have been described despite the wide variety of techniques. In a 53-year-old man, rupture of this tendon was treated by tenodesis and was complicated by heterotopic ossification that severely limited the function of the shoulder joints. Nonsurgical conservative treatment of biceps tendon ruptures may avoid the possibility of this complication.
