- Abstract
Biceps tendon rupture is a rare condition that has been previously reported in athletic animals. In the present case study, biceps tendon rupture was diagnosed in two Beetal goats. Tendon rupture was indicated by performing a biceps test while diagnostic confirmation was achieved by arthrography and ultrasonography. Bicep tendon appeared hyperechoic but it was noted with disruption and swollen (slightly hypoechoic). Moreover, it was moderately in-homogenous fibrillar structure. While some parts of the tendon has normal echo structure. Tenotomy was performed to mitigate the aforementioned rupture. The follow-up of cases were done for six weeks after the surgery, whereby both goats demonstrated complete recovery. Despite the infrequency of biceps tendon rupture in pasture animals, analysis of diagnostic procedures and surgical stabilization was undertaken for its mitigation is imperative for the clinical understanding of the affection.
