“…Functional outcomes at 2 weeks, 6 weeks, and 3 months in the present study were comparable to our experience with nonanatomical DBT refixation with the same intramedullary button. 9 The functional outcome at 6 months was excellent and comparable to the reported outcomes of other fixation methods. 2 , 7 , 10 , 11 , 13 , 24 Full pronation was regained later in the rehabilitation period compared to nonanatomical fixation.…”

“… 2 , 7 , 10 , 11 , 13 , 24 Full pronation was regained later in the rehabilitation period compared to nonanatomical fixation. 9 We believe that this is a result of the anatomical reinsertion site. As the DBT rotates around the radial bone with pronation, the repaired tendon would stretch more with more ulnar (i.e.…”

“… 5 , 22 We recently proposed an intramedullary fixation device, which theoretically allows the anatomical reinsertion without risk for the PIN. 8 , 9 The first reported results were favorable. These results were based on a nonanatomical reinsertion.…”

“…The biggest disadvantage of this technique is the potential iatrogenic damage to the posterior interosseous nerve (PIN) (5). In recent years intramedullary fixation has been proposed to minimize the risk of PIN damage (6,7). Knowledge on the load to failure and outcomes of these techniques are limited to small series biomechanical or in vivo series (6,7).…”

The aim of this study was to measure cortex thickness and medullar canal width of the bicipital tuberosity, to evaluate the accessibility of a intramedullar fixation device and the resistance to pullout strengths of the anterior cortex. The final objective was to determine the length of tendon ingrowth size that will be expected when using this surgical technique. A total of 144 computer tomography images of the proximal radius were used. Bone thickness of the anterior and posterior cortex and medullar canal size were measured. The possible ingrowth of the tendon was measured both for an anatomical and non- anatomical reinsertion. Statistical and concordance analyses of results were performed. The average width of the medullar canal was 8,7mm proximal, 7,9mm distal and 7,7mm at the tuberosity. The average posterior and anterior cortex measured respectively 2,5mm and 2,9mm proximal, 3,2mm and 3,2mm distal and 2,8mm and 1,9mm at the radial tuberosity. The possible non-anatomical ingrowth was 7,6 mm on average and the possible anatomical ingrowth was 7,6mm on average. The radial tuberosity anatomy can accommodate the new distal biceps fixation device. The anterior cortex on which the new device relies for support has a similar thickness as the posterior cortex used in bicortical fixation devices which may suggest similar resistance to pull-out strengths. The availability for intra-osseous fixation of the tendon stump may avoids tendon gapping. The intra-osseous length for the tendon stump surpassed reported tendon slippage during mobilization and active contraction of the distal biceps tendon.
