Repair of distal biceps tendon ruptures using the EndoButton.
نویسندگان
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.

INTRODUCTION Many surgical techniques have been described in the literature. In this article, we describe surgical technical details along with tips and tricks of distal biceps tendon tenodesis using the EndoButton and tension - slide technique, a modification of the suspensory cortical button technique, which allows the surgeon to tension and repairs the biceps tendon through the single longit...

INTRODUCTION The simultaneous rupture of both distal biceps tendons is a rare clinical entity that is difficult to treat and can have poor outcomes. A variety of treatment and rehabilitation options exist and have been reported for single sided and staged bilateral repairs, but none have described an approach for acute bilateral ruptures. Repairing distal biceps tendon ruptures using a single a...

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...
متن کاملPosterior 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 ...
متن کاملRepair 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...
