Introduction: We present a single-surgeon series of 14 acute ruptured distal biceps tendons repaired using a biotenodesis screw through a single anterior incision.
Patients: The demographics of this population reveal a typical injury pattern and reflect the preponderance of distal biceps ruptures in the middle aged, active male. Goniometric post-operative assessment of flexion, pronation and supination range demonstrates excellent clinical function in these patients.
Article Synopsis
- Implant arthroplasty for hallux disorders, using Bio-Action great toe implants, shows promise due to advancements in biomaterials and design.
- A study followed 48 patients over 36-69 months, assessing functionality, patient satisfaction, and complications, using a specific scoring system.
- Results indicated significant improvement in range of motion and MTP scale, with 77% of patients rating their outcomes as good or excellent, suggesting satisfactory long-term functionality.
