While distal bicep tendon repair to the radial tuberosity has been demonstrated to restore function and strength, there is a lack of consensus on the optimal technique. The purpose of this Technical Note and video is to provide our preferred method of repair using an open, onlay-tissue fixation...
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 ...
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 ...

This 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).Participants were divided into four groups according...
repairdermal grafttension slidereconstructRupture 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 ...
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 ...
Between 2007-2013, all military service members undergoing primary surgical repair for distal biceps rupture through the Military Health System were isolated. Patients with allograft tendon reconstruction, revision procedures, nonmilitary status, and/or follow-up of less than 24month were excluded. ...
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 events. This outcome suggests that a US-guided posterior percutaneous tendon injection might be a safe, ...
