This study presents a modified cortical button technique for distal biceps tendon repair, offering maximal strength and minimal gapping for early motion. This approach simplifies the surgical procedure for improved patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Tendon Repair

Background:

  • Distal biceps tendon tears require surgical repair.
  • Existing techniques vary in effectiveness and complexity.
  • A need exists for a robust, minimally invasive repair method.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a modified cortical button technique for distal biceps tendon repair.
  • To achieve maximal repair strength with minimal gapping.
  • To facilitate early range of motion post-surgery.

Main Methods:

  • A modified cortical button and tension-slide technique were employed.
  • A single, transverse anterior incision was utilized.
  • Repair tensioning and docking were performed through the anterior incision.

Published on: March 6, 2026

Main Results:

  • The technique allows for a limited, single-incision approach.
  • Maximal strength and minimal gapping of the repair were achieved.
  • No need to predetermine suture length, eliminating button flipping concerns.

Conclusions:

  • This modified technique offers a reliable method for distal biceps tendon repair.
  • It combines surgical efficiency with strong, stable repair.
  • Enables earlier patient mobilization and potentially faster recovery.
