Musculoskeletal - Biceps Tendon Sheath Effusion
Caption
55 y/o F presented 2 months after a FOOSH with adhesive capsulitis and a biceps tendon sheath effusion. Ultrasound scanning transverse axis proximal to distal along humeral shaft (left screen is lateral). Anechoic space around hyperechoic biceps tendon (center of screen) represents fluid that is continuous with the glenohumeral joint space. Inflammation from the adhesive capsulitis is drawing in fluid into the joint that is extending into biceps tendon sheath.
