A biomechanical comparison of EndoButton versus suture anchor repair of distal biceps tendon injuries

A Retrospective Evaluation of Anatomical Reinsertion of the Distal Biceps Brachii Tendon Using an ACL TightRope® RT with a Titanium Cortical Button and Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene Suture: A Preliminary Report

“…Since it has been shown to be the strongest form of tendon stabilization when compared with other fixation methods, the EndoButton is seen as enabling early active mobilization. A comparison of EndoButton and suture anchor repair of distal biceps ruptures in a human bone-tendon model revealed comparable fixation strengths [28]. On the other hand, the standard technique for cortical button usage is associated with a higher mean gap formation between the tendon and bone after cyclical loading, which has led some authors to develop and assess a tension slide technique [29,30].…”

A Simple Grafting Method to Repair Irreparable Distal Biceps Tendon

“…They are mechanically almost equal, although the Endobutton had the highest load to failure rate [15,23]. Suture anchors can be placed more ulnarly or posteriorly than a bone tunnel.…”

“…Tendons with degenerative characteristics secondary to bursopathy and conditions that affect collagen metabolism may also be factors predisposing towards this type of lesion (2,(7)(8)(9)(10)(11) . The clinical condition comprises sudden acute pain in the region of the cubital fossa that persists for a few hours, followed by a less intense pain that may When proximal retraction occurs, use of grafts is indicated in order to perform tenodesis (6,(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(19)(20)(21) . The grafts used generally come from the fascia lata, radial flexor of the carpus, semitendinosus or calcaneal tendon (8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(19)(20)(21) .…”

This assessment can be done using an isokinetic digital dynamometer, which can also assist in rehabilitation, as well as identifying muscle deficits, particularly during the postoperative rehabilitation activity phase (8,16,17,20) .…”
