Most distal bicep tendon ruptures occur in middle-aged men (fourth decade). The most common mechanism of distal biceps tears is sudden eccentric loading of an actively contracting biceps (lifting or pushing heavy load) resulting in tendon failure usually at the tendon-bone junction. The ...
As mentioned, the native distal bicep tendon has a strength of 200 to 225 N. The present literature suggests that surgical fixation with the Endobutton technique has a failure load of 259±28 N, obviously higher than the natural attachment. However, there should always be caution with any ...

Rupture of the distal bicep brachii tendon has received significant attention as a result of increased awareness of injury, numerous surgical fixation techniques, and debate regarding single versus dual incision surgery. The majority of ruptures may be fixed primarily. On rare occasion, the tendon ...
Distal bicep tendonElastographyStrain ratioUltrasoundThis study aimed to investigate the relationship between stiffness of the bicep brachii muscle (BBM) and distal bicep tendon (DBT) and effects of weight lifting (pre- to post-workout changes) among groups with different body mass indexes (BMI)....
For most of these cases, unless the patient is elderly or infirm, conservative management should be avoided and the injury should be treated with a surgical procedure to reattach the bicep tendon to the radial tuberosity. In this Technical Note and accompanying video, we describe an anatomic ...
Although success has been reported with this technique, this approach may lead to neurovascular injury. This case report is the first in the literature to describe a US-guided distal bicep tendon injection using a posterior approach. The patient had an excellent clinical outcome with no adverse ...
Demographic data (age, limb dominance) and surgical variables (time to surgery, surgical technique) were extracted, and rates of perioperative complications, rerupture, reoperation, revision, and inability to return to preinjury function were recorded. Logistic regression analysis was performed to ...
