Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Tendon Repair

Background:

  • Distal biceps tendon tears are infrequent, comprising 3-5% of all biceps injuries.
  • Surgical intervention demonstrates superior results compared to conservative management for restoring forearm flexion and supination.

Observation:

  • A case study details a patient undergoing surgical treatment for a distal biceps tendon tear.
  • The surgical technique involved anatomical reattachment utilizing anchors.

Findings:

  • The patient achieved excellent outcomes two years post-surgery, remaining asymptomatic.
  • Full return to previous athletic activities without complications was reported.

Implications:

  • Anatomical reattachment with anchors is a viable surgical option for distal biceps tendon tears.
  • This approach can lead to successful patient recovery and return to high-level activities.
