Distal biceps brachii tendon avulsion. A simplified method of operative repair.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.

Avulsion of the distal biceps tendon from the tuberosity occurs mostly in middle-aged males resulting from eccentric loading of the flexed, supinated forearm [1]. When non-operative treatment is chosen, supination strength decreases by 50% and flexion strength is reduced by 35-40% [2]. Surgical repair has been shown to be a better alternative than non-operative treatments for restoration of str...

The hamstring muscles and tendons are the most commonly injured muscle group in athletes. The hamstring tendons are particularly vulnerable to injuries, as they cross 2 joints and have a high proportion of type 2 muscle fibers. They act mainly as decelerators of the leg, and as they work eccentrically, they are prone to excessive force in the muscle-tendon unit. Most hamstring injuries are stra...
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...

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...

Delayed repair of the distal biceps brachii tendon can lead to the formation of scar tissue and coiling of the tendon. Dissection of the scar tissue and unraveling of the tendon may allow for anatomic repair to the radial tuberosity. A 50-year-old man had a distal biceps brachii tendon tear with an intact lacertus fibrosis. Surgery was performed 22 days after injury. On inspection, the distal b...
