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 ...
