Background: Surgical repair is the most favored treatment for a rupture of the distal biceps tendon. A variety of techniques have been described for distal biceps tendon reattachment, including transosseous sutures, suture anchors, interference screws, and an EndoButton-based technique.
Hypothesis: EndoButton and suture anchor have initially stronger fixation strengths than do transosseous sutures, allowing early postoperative rehabilitation.
