Mini-incision Distal Biceps Tendon Repair

摘要: Rupture of the biceps tendon from its distal insertion has historically been considered a rare injury, and early management was mainly nonoperative, with reports citing satisfactory results.1 However, more recent literature recognized persistent deficits supination strength endurance, to lesser degree flexion, in active high-demand patients, implicated these outcomes as an indication for acute repair.2–6 Distal ruptures currently seem be encountered frequently then reported, possibly due increased awareness, most surgeons now recommend repair maintain flexion endurance.
