• ABSTRACT
    • A case of a young body-builder who had ingested megadoses of anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS) for 6 yr and who sustained bilateral avulsions of the distal biceps tendon is presented. Explosive behavior, painful gynecomastia, and a slight hypertrophy of both the left and right ventricular walls of the heart were other possible adverse effects of AAS in this patient. Reinsertion of both distal biceps tendons to the radial tuberosity was performed according to the Boyd-Anderson technique and a good result was achieved.
