Biceps Tendon Injuries in Athletes - 20/08/11
Corresponding author.Abstract |
Although rare, athletes involved in competitive strength training and contact sports may sustain distal tendon biceps injuries. Treatment of complete distal biceps tendon ruptures in athletes is primarily surgical. Early repair, through either one-incision or two-incision techniques with anatomic reinsertion of the ruptured tendon to the bicipital tuberosity, is highly recommended. In this article the etiology and pathophysiology of distal biceps tendon ruptures, current diagnostic modalities, and surgical indications are discussed. Also, treatment options, surgical techniques, outcomes, and potential complications are reviewed.
