rehabilitationEtiology: Distal biceps tendon ruptures, which account for approximately 10% of all biceps ruptures, typically occur after a sudden, unexpected extension force to the flexed arm. Most injuries are complete ruptures, with the tendon avulsing from the radial tuberosity. Tearing of the...
Particularly with a distal biceps repair, it will be very important to know the level of tendon retraction, tissue quality, and security of fixation that the surgeon was able to achieve. With this knowledge, the rehabilitation may move slower, or more quickly, but the most important factor in...
Anatomic repair of the distal biceps tendon rupture gives consistently excellent subjective and good objective results in athletes, particularly for those sports with high strength demands such as weight lifting and body building. Rehabilitation of the operated arm, especially the repaired...
The simultaneous rupture of both distal biceps tendons is a rare clinical entity that is difficult to treat and can have poor outcomes. A variety of treatment and rehabilitation options exist and have been reported for single sided and staged bilateral repairs, but none have described an approach...

No consensus exists in the literature on the optimal operative treatment method for distal biceps tendon ruptures. It is our hypothesis that a single-incision technique with a poly-L-lactide Bio-Tenodesis screw (Arthrex, Inc, Naples, Florida) is a safe and effective method for operative manage...
acute rupturerepairWe describe a technique for repair of the distal biceps tendon using a single anterior incision, limited volardissection, and transosseous sutures through the radial tuberosity. This technique is simple, safe, and strong, allowing for prompt rehabilitation and recovery. Unlike the ...
Reconstruction of chronic distal biceps tendon ruptures is complicated by the substantial retraction and poor quality of the remaining muscle and tendon tissue. Several types of tendon grafts have been described to augment the repair and restore length including both allografts and autografts. To date...
