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卤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 ...
Tobacco use was significantly associated with risk of rerupture (odds ratio, 4.86; P= .0423) or combined surgical and clinical failures (odds ratio, 5.64; P= .0091), whereas age, limb dominance, time to surgery, fixation construct, and surgical technique were not statistically significant (P...
