Multiple nerve injuries following repair of a distal biceps tendon rupture--case report and review of the literature.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Current repair of a distal biceps tendon rupture has reverted to the single incision technique. Postoperative complications are rare, but the most common are due to neuropraxia. We present the case of patient who sustained multiple nerve injuries following distal biceps repair. This case is presented with a review of the literature.

Common Peroneal Nerve Palsy with Multiple-Ligament Knee Injury and Distal Avulsion of the Biceps Femoris Tendon
A multiple-ligament knee injury that includes posterolateral corner (PLC) disruption often causes palsy of the common peroneal nerve (CPN), which occurs in 44% of cases with PLC injury and biceps femoris tendon rupture or avulsion of the fibular head. Approximately half of these cases do not show functional recovery. This case report aims to present a criteria-based approach to the operation an...
متن کاملBrachial Artery Injury during Surgical Repair of Distal Biceps Rupture: A Report of Two Cases
Distal biceps tendon ruptures are a result of an eccentric load onto a flexed elbow and can lead to loss of flexion and supination strength. Surgical treatment is a well-accepted treatment that can improve flexion and supination strength, however, can be associated with a number of surgical complications. The case presented here describes a vascular injury sustained during a distal biceps tendo...
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 کاملChronic Partial Rupture of Distal Biceps Tendon in an Adolescent―A Case Report
Distal biceps tendon rupture accounts for only 3% 10% of all biceps tendon injuries. The majority of distal biceps tendon injuries are from complete rupture. It is especially rare to diagnose partial rupture of the distal biceps tendon. Our case profiles a chronic partial tear of the distal biceps tendon in a pediatric patient.
متن کاملEntrapment of Common Peroneal Nerve by Surgical Suture following Distal Biceps Femoris Tendon Repair
We describe entrapment of the common peroneal nerve by a suture after surgical repair of the distal biceps femoris tendon. Complete rupture of the distal biceps femoris tendon of a 16-year-old male athlete was surgically repaired. Postoperative common peroneal nerve palsy was evident, but conservative treatment did not cause any neurological improvement. Reexploration revealed that the common p...
