Rupture of the distal tendon of the biceps brachii. Operative versus non-operative treatment.
We did Cybex testing of thirteen patients who had had a rupture of the distal tendon of the biceps brachii. The tests were performed fifteen months to six years after injury. The ten patients who had had a surgical repair through the two-incision technique showed a return to normal levels of strength and endurance with regard to both flexion of the elbow and supination of the forearm. The three...
متن کاملDistal biceps brachii tendon avulsion. A simplified method of operative repair.
Rupture of the distal insertion of the biceps brachii may lead to severe functional impairment of the upper extremity on the basis of resultant weakness of elbow flexion and supination. When the diagnosis of a posttraumatic distal biceps tendon avulsion is made, a simple method of reattachment is possible and functionally warranted.
متن کاملDistal biceps brachii tendon rupture resulting in acute compartment syndrome.
Distal biceps brachii tendon rupture is an uncommon injury. Compartment syndrome of the upper arm is rarely described in the literature. The diagnosis of upper arm compartment syndrome requires a high index of suspicion, and emergent surgical treatment with fasciotomy in the acute setting is necessary to avoid devastating neurovascular complications. This article reports a case of acute compart...
متن کاملDisorders of the distal biceps brachii tendon.
Pathologic conditions of the distal biceps brachii tendon are of clinical interest, with partial and complete tears being the most common. However, the anatomy of the distal biceps brachii tendon makes imaging of the distal tendon somewhat difficult. An innovation in patient positioning for magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the distal biceps tendon was recently described in which the patient l...
متن کاملOperative versus non-operative management of pediatric medial epicondyle fractures: a systematic review
PURPOSE There is ongoing debate about the management of medial epicondyle fractures in the pediatric population. This systematic review evaluated non-operative versus operative treatment of medial epicondyle fractures in pediatric and adolescent patients over the last six decades. METHODS A systematic review of the available literature was performed. Frequency-weighted mean union times were u...
