Abstract
The patient was a 24-year-old woman who was evaluated by a physical therapist in a direct-access sports medicine clinic for a chief complaint of right anterior arm pain and swelling. Given the unusual mechanism and location of the injury, significant pain and weakness, and questionable tissue defect, diagnostic ultrasound was ordered. The ultrasound examination findings revealed a strain of the right short head of the biceps brachii with a partial tear more distally.
