Mini-Open Distal Biceps Tendon Repair Using All-Suture Anchors

Abstract

Distal biceps tendon ruptures are uncommon injuries that can cause impairment in range of motion and function. While distal bicep tendon repair to the radial tuberosity has been demonstrated to restore function and strength, there is a lack of consensus on the optimal technique. The purpose of this Technical Note and video is to provide our preferred method of repair using an open, onlay-tissue fixation with all-suture anchors (FiberTak; Arthrex) and anatomic positioning of the biceps tendon on the radial tuberosity.
