Question 2

A weight lifter has just come to you in extreme pain, he is grabbing his upper left arm with his right hand and looking very anxious. He tells you that he was doing curls when he suddenly experienced severe pain and loss of strength in the upper left arm. He thinks he may have heard something snap in his arm when it happened. You check the ROM in his shoulder and elbow, and find that, although his shoulder seems okay, the ROM in his elbow is lost. He also has a bulge in the upper arm and the surrounding area is swelling. This athlete probably has
 a. a biceps brachii rupture.
