چکیده

A transverse skin incision 2 cm distal to the elbow skin crease was made and the lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerve was protected. In acute cases the the retracted biceps tendon and the tendon tract were readily identified. With the elbow in full extension and supination, the radial tuberosity was exposed. A cortical window to accommodate the tendon was made with a burr. A drill was advanced across the opposite cortex.

Distal Biceps Tendon Repair: 1-Incision Versus 2-Incision Techniques

Treatment options for distal biceps tendon ruptures include nonoperative and operative approaches. Candidates for conservative nonoperative management include elderly low-demand patients, those in whom surgery is contraindicated because of medical comorbidities, and those who are unable to adhere to the strict postoperative rehabilitation regimen. Data have clearly shown the superiority of oper...

Posterior interosseous nerve incarceration with endobutton repair of distal biceps.

Distal biceps ruptures are uncommon injuries that comprise approximately 3% of all biceps pathology. This injury is most commonly seen in 40- to 60-year-old men, and the mechanism of injury involves a forceful extension movement to a flexed elbow. Without surgical intervention, patients are left with measurable weakness in elbow flexion and supination as well as a cosmetic deformity that often ...

Repair of chronic distal biceps brachii tendon rupture using free autogenous semitendinosus tendon.

Distal biceps brachii tendon ruptures occur much less frequently than do their proximal counterparts. Distal tendon ruptures usually are associated with considerable function deficits and may require surgical treatment. Repair of chronic distal biceps brachii ruptures are extremely unusual. A free autogenous semitendinosus tendon graft was used to reconstruct the distal biceps tendon by reattac...
