ABSTRACT

Injuries to the upper arm in association with sports are relatively few. The most common are those involving the biceps muscle and its tendon, that can be damaged both proximally in the shoulder where the tendon is attached, in the groove on the upper arm and in the attachment on the elbow (Fig. 11.1). The major pectoral muscle and its tendon can rupture during wrestling and other power sports. Various kinds of upper arm fractures can occur after falling on it.
