Modified single-incision distal biceps tendon repair using three suture anchors: surgical technique.

Complete distal biceps tendon rupture causes a considerable loss of supination and flexion strength, and thus, surgical repair is indicated in active individuals. To reduce the risk of injury to the radial nerve in the confined space where the distal biceps inserts into the radius, several surgical methods have been reported, such as, pull out sutures, two-incision techniques, and the use of suture anchors. Here, we describe our modified single-incision distal biceps tendon repair technique using three suture anchors, which widens the bone-tendon contact surface and simplifies tensioning of the tendon attachment.
