N2  - Isolated closed rupture of the short head of the biceps brachii is rare and has been reported infrequently. We experienced a case of traumatic isolated closed rupture of the short head of the biceps brachii in a healthy 21-year-old military paratrooper and report this case. At the surgery, the distal portion of short head of biceps brachii was sutured to the proximal stump and long head of biceps. At the last follow-up, elbow flexion strength was revealed 79% of normal and medial depression in the mid-portion of the upper arm was improved. Isolated rupture of the short head of the biceps brachii is a rare injury and early intervention is recommended if a sulcus or gap in musculotendinous unit is palpable or considerable weakness is present.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
