Kaikitsune Makoto 210 Posted October 7, 2002 Do you know why Chiyonofuji's right biceps was deformed ? It was? I tried to look at the pictures I have of Chiyonofuji but didn't see any conspicuous deformity in his right biceps. Usually "deformed" biceps is due to it's tendons rupture at the top part which leads to "fall" of the biceps and Popeye-effect comes into play. I don't know. Put a good picture of him and his biceps on this thread and we shall examine further :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tony 16 Posted October 7, 2002 I saw that his right biceps is deformed graceful videos. I don't know photo where this particularity is evident. However, I found that in Kyushu basho 1975, he injured. Diagnosis :" fracture under the skin the right arm muscle ". What's it exactly ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tony 16 Posted October 7, 2002 Perhaps, you can do an idea with last Chiyonofuji's photo of this website: http://www.ahense.de/sumo.html But, it's not obvious! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kaikitsune Makoto 210 Posted October 7, 2002 I have never heard of Chiyonofuji having a deformed bicep, and don't know anything about medicine, but assuming his bicep was somehow deformed, could this have come from his more than once dislocated shoulder (and again, I don't even remember which shoulder he tended to dislocate...)? I don't remember either. Maybe he did tore his right biceps long head tendon (accounts of majority of all biceps tendon ruptures, over 90%) which causes a bulging deformity. Usually not surgically repaired and evidently nearly full or even full strength can be restored with rehabilitation. And yes unstable shoulder is a risk factor contributing to injuring the biceps tendon. http://www.ahense.de/sumo.html Maybe he does have deformity there. Hard to say as his muscles are so well developed and the little bulging appearing in that side picture could be just normal. Here is biceps tendon anatomy illustrated: Diagnosis :" fracture under the skin the right arm muscle ".What's it exactly ? Well could well be the tendon fracture or simply torn biceps but not sure about this.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
