The HOOK TEST for a biceps rupture.

[@fourthworldmusic7524]

I was literally overthinking if i ruptured my distal bicep tendon. Thank you for the info, i can feel it when i hook it😌

[@OrthoEvalPal]

Happy to help!

[@garydelong7750]

@@OrthoEvalPal just happened to me. Pain isn’t very much, only with sudden, or quick movement. More of an aching dull pain. I don’t feel the tendon with the hook test however, but I’m wondering if that’s because it’s kind of swollen. Could this be grade 2? Thanks in advance.

​@@garydelong7750 sorry to say but you might have a complete rupture

Bro my arm is swollen compared to other. Is it normal for gym goers?

[@tappedthedope3698]

I was arm wrestling and experiencing severe pain in that very spot and was super worries about a tear. But this video helped me realize I was fine.

Thanks I was gonna go to the doctor but I can feel my tendon

[@virtus3228]

did a new biceps exercise at the gym and after 72hr i still feel some pain/soreness was worried i tore something. thank you

[@gamerdad5174]

Did it take time to heal?

[@TheTeddyEdwards]

Thanks, was boxing and felt pain after throwing left hooks, felt tight and bicep bruised. I can do the test, maybe not as serious as I thought, No pain, just tightness and bruising.

[@sergeyryabov7262]

No problem 👍

It took away the pain doing that, I wonder how long my arm will feel good again?

I was overthinking that I tore my bicep cuz it hurts badly, tysm, helps me a lot :)

[@OrthoEvalPal]

You are welcome!

[@nawabcharatsingh2424]

Sometimes there are ridges on my left bicep and it hurts but it is not a rupture it stays for few days and then goes away

[@nebimertaydin3187]

I can hook it. But it feels weird and sensitive when doing it.

[@Pitogiros16]

I'm kinda late to it but i suggest you see a doctor

[@anastasioskatsavounis5792]

Can we misintepret the brachialis tendon for a bicep tendon in the hook test? Please answer me . Thanks in advance?

[@deathrawphantasma]

Left a mark on my arm

[@34ragehex]

Well I got the wrong side of the coin flip on this one

[@yutsylavong215]

What if there’s still partially tendon attached, will it be ok and how long to get better?

You are welcome!

[@novelay]

It is painful if apply it with pressure. Should i just take som weeks off?

[@brettphillips2309]

Im laying in bed with a distal rupture right now. Kind of nervous because i csnt see an ortho until next month for it. Will it be too late to get it fixed? By the time i get in there it will be 4 weeks since injury

[@itzz.tyler.suresh]

That works !

[@janreinhardt5345]

Thanks for the video, you really calmed me down. I was doing hammer curls and suddenly felt a pain. Its neither blue nor painful anymore, but I dont feel too comfortable putting it under load. Is there a way to release tightness of the brachialis? It feels like my brachialis, right on the outside in the elbow bend where it crosses from lower to upperarm might be super tight and needs releasing. Regards

[@OrthoEvalPal]

You could try a massage gun, manual massage or foam roller also a light stretch by straightening the elbow and using the other hand to push the wrist down toward the floor and out like a tennis elbow stretch.

[@user-my3zk6tt8l]

I have a rupture do I have to get surgery or could I still lift weights without it?

I can hook both my arm but why i feel tightness and Soreness when straightening my arm 🥲

[@OrthoEvalPal]

Hard to answer without seeing you.

[@permanent8387]

i train kickboxing and this wednesday our trainer thought it was a good idea to do 30minutes of bicep curls going 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and then start from the bottom again the next day the joint above my elbow was hurting and couldnt straighten my hand without pain but went on to training and today it was even worse. started worrying if its really just muscle pain but with this test i could atleast feel the tendon and could feel it stop my finger from moving though didnt fell as big as i expected :D anyway probably not a tear but overworked or something

[@OrthoEvalPal]

Most probably delayed onset muscle soreness.

[@permanent8387]

@@OrthoEvalPal hopefully and well see but sure is on a whole other level of pain 😁most likely because i havent really done bicepcurls for a long time

[@permanent8387]

@@mcuisall6033 i mean how should i know :D for me it went away in a week (after like 5-6days i could just barely feel it). massage and stretch reguraly and it should go away faster. also preferrably dont exercise anything that uses hands to properly rest and ofcourse to avoid the immense amount of pain. but some light excersice could help (do your own research) if the pain is the same after like a week then you should probably start being alittle worried

[@bobdeni244]

Can hook it but we have to push against the muscles. Right? And something kind of moves over it, if touched from the front and not hooking it. Is something broken or are they the veins or nerves?

[@OrthoEvalPal]

It's usually the tendon that you feel doing that. You should have a medical provider check it out.

[@bobdeni244]

@@OrthoEvalPal Thank you

[@gajanansable7418]

[@OrthoEvalPal]

Sounds like you might have pushed it too hard and have delayed onset muscle soreness. Work on gently regaining motion but don't push it too hard.

I am also feeling the same it's been 2 days but the pain has not gone what should I do? And can you explain best position for sleeping while going through this problem

I have the tear. Is there PT that I can do to rehab it, or will I need surgery?

[@OrthoEvalPal]

Not if it is completely torn, and if it is the distal biceps.

[@OrthoEvalPal]

I actually have a friend who has a complete distal biceps tear, who never had a repaired and functions quite well without pain

[@SeanAlexanderThirtyEight]

@@OrthoEvalPal if I’m understanding correctly, my distal bicep is fine as I can feel the connective tissue and preform the hook test. My hook test went exactly as you described in this video with a mushy feeling as I rotate upwards.

[@OrthoEvalPal]

@@SeanAlexanderThirtyEight is your biceps riding higher up your arm than the other side?

[@SeanAlexanderThirtyEight]

@@OrthoEvalPal inside half of the bicep is sagging into the ditch of my arm, the outside half is sitting where it should be.

If you can hook around the tendon, that is good!

It fit...........THEN WTF IS CAUSING THIS PAIN IN MY BICEP?!!!!?!? thnx for the advice btw

[@baikoukimodo5760]

I really need to know myself. Based on this test I don't have a rupture, but it seems like my biceps absolutely will not recover from this sore feeling, even after not working them for over a month. I can work through the pain whenever I wanted, but it's kind of worrying.
