Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Tendon Repair

Background:

  • Distal biceps tendon ruptures are common injuries resulting from eccentric load.
  • Chronic lesions, treated after 4 weeks, present challenges due to retraction and degeneration.
  • Current treatments often necessitate tendon grafts for reconstruction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel surgical technique for reconstructing chronic distal biceps tendon ruptures.
  • To evaluate the functional outcomes and safety of this new method.

Main Methods:

  • A new reconstruction technique involving a Flexor Carpi Radialis (FCR) autograft reinforced with a Palmaris Longus (PL) autograft.
  • Graft fixation to the radial tuberosity using an Endobutton.
  • Application of the technique in a cohort of 6 patients.

Main Results:

  • Excellent functional outcomes were achieved in all 6 patients.
  • No major complications were reported.
  • No morbidity or functional limitations were observed at the autograft harvest sites.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed FCR and PL autograft technique offers a viable and effective solution for chronic distal biceps tendon ruptures.
  • This method demonstrates good functional recovery and a favorable safety profile.
