A Method for Reinsertion of the Distal Biceps Brachii Tendon

H. B. Boyd M.D.1 and L. D. Anderson M.D.1

1 Campbell Foundation and the University of Tennessee College of Medicine, Memphis

A method of repair following rupture of the distal tendon of the biceps brachii is described. This method has two advantages. First, it restores the tendon to its anatomical insertion and the biceps to its function as a supinator as well as a flexor of the forearm. Second, the use of two approaches obviates the difficulties and dangers of exposing the radial tuberosity through the anterior approach.
