Elbow function after repair of the distal biceps brachii tendon with a two-incision approach

The effect of biceps reattachment site

“…3,4,9,11,12,16,24,26,30,32,34,37,40,41,43,44 One study found that peak supination torque occurred at 12 of forearm supination during isokinetic testing of a normal population, leading us to believe that the peak strength measurements in the literature might not be representative of the entire function of the repair. 16 Isokinetic testing does not typically involve comparisons of peak supination strength differences at different forearm positions, other than positions of maximum torque.…”

Elbow Tendinopathy and Tendon Ruptures: Epicondylitis, Biceps and Triceps Ruptures

“…Weinstein et al reported their results with the modified Boyd-Anderson technique, using suture anchors rather than bone tunnel fixation, in 32 patients, with mean follow-up of 42 months. 40 No statistically significant differences were noted in any range of motion measurements between the repaired and uninvolved arms (p Ͼ .05), and for each strength and endurance measurement the mean for the repaired arm was at least 95% of that for the uninvolved arm. They reported 2 transient lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerve palsies, 1 wound hematoma, 1 re-tear after a fall, and no radioulnar synostoses.…”

The Biotenodesis Screw and Endobutton Technique for Repair for Acute Distal Biceps Tendon Rupture

“…There is still great debate as to whether one or 2 incision techniques have an effect on the risk of neurological injury [10,12]. However, it is now widely reported that range of movement outcomes are equivalent whether undertaken by a modified Boyd-Anderson or a single anterior incision approach [17]. Grewal, et al [10] randomised control of the study, and in interpretation of the results.…”
