“…Insgesamt wurden 143 der Patienten über einen singulären beugeseitigen Zugang zur Tuberositas radii versorgt [10,12,17,18,22,25,29,33,37]; 26mal wurde die Fixation dabei mit Ankerhaken durchgeführt [4,21,26,28,38].…”

“…Ein Patient klagte über stärkeren Schmerz [23]. Der Verlust an maximaler Flexionskraft betrug durchschnittlich (s. Tabelle 2) zwischen 0% [17] und 20% [4,22]. Die Minderung der Supinationskraft betrug 10-30% [4,17,26].…”

“…Es werden verschiedene Techniken zur Refixation beschrieben, z. B. Aufnaht auf die tiefere Muskelplatte des M. brachialis und brachioradialis [7, 13,17,22], die anatomische Reinsertion an der Tuberositas radii über einen einzigen beugeseitigen Zugang [3, 11,14,16,23,30] oder über einen zweiten dorsal gelegenen Zugang [1, 2, 7 -9, 18,22]. Zur Erreichung normaler Kraftverhältnisse insbesondere bezüglich der Supination ist prinzipiell nur die anatomische Reinsertion an der Tuberositas radii in der Lage [2,5,7,8,22].…”

Avulsion of the distal biceps tendon is a clear indication of operative therapy. Different techniques have been described. From 10/97 till 4/02 we have treated 25 patients with avulsion of the distal biceps tendon by anatomic reinsertion at the radial tuberosity with suture anchors by using a limited anterior approach. 24 patients underwent a clinical follow-up of at least 3 months, the average follow-up was 15.8 months. All patients were men with a mean age of 46 years (32-64 years). Surgery was performed within 9 days (1-28 days) after trauma. No wound healing complication was observed. 2-3 suture anchors have been used in each patient. After 3 months, most patients reached a free range of motion and full strength with unlimited recreational and professional activity. In three cases (12.5 %) a heterotopic ossification occurred, two of them (8.3 %) underwent surgical revision. In one case (4.2 %) we observed a rerupture after 6 weeks. 6 patients (12.5 %) described an intermittent disturbance of sensitivity in their radial forearm, in two cases (8.3 %) the lack of sensitivity persisted. Each patient would choose the same procedure in case of injury.

“…Both operative and non-operative treatment has been reported in the literature [25,26,48,50,52,53,57]. Nonoperative treatment has consistently shown poor objective strength measurements, with significant losses of flexion and supination power [2,6,22,23,28,29,30,39]. Operative repair has yielded better return of strength results but has had a higher complication rate with injury to radial, median and ulnar nerves being reported [6,10,12,18,24,33,38,39,43,47,49].…”

We retrospectively evaluated six cases of distal biceps tendon rupture that were treated by a two-incision operative repair using suture anchor attachment to the radial tuberosity for clinical outcome and strength testing. All patients had repair performed by the same surgeon. The average age of the patients, all male, was 43 years (range, 32-57 years). Average time from injury to operative repair was 22 days (range, 9-54 days). Follow-up time averaged 24 months after definitive treatment (range, 11-46 months). At follow-up no patient had limitation of activity and all patients were able to return to their previous employment, although three noted some minor antecubital fossa discomfort. No patient developed a synostosis. Cybex (Medway, Mass.) isokinetic testing revealed elbow flexion strength return for peak torque, total work, and average power, of 107%, 103%, and 110% of the uninjured arm, respectively. Elbow flexion endurance was 2% less in the injured arm. Forearm supination strength measured by peak torque, total work, and average power, was 97%, 85%, and 88% of the uninjured arm, respectively. Forearm supination endurance was 10% less in the injured arm. Our results using suture anchor repair are similar to those previously reported in the literature from bone tunnel repair. Based on our data, we believe that a two-incision repair with suture anchor attachment is a safe and effective method for treatment of distal biceps tendon ruptures.
