Various techniques have been described to repair the distal biceps tendon. The optimal technique would incorporate a limited 1-incision technique with maximal strength and minimal gapping of the repair to allow early range of motion. We describe a modified use of a cortical button, the tension-slide technique, which allows for a transverse anterior incision and the ability to tension and dock the repair through the anterior incision. There is no need to predetermine the length of suture between the button and the biceps and elimination of the technical concern for the button flipping.

We compared performing preacher and incline biceps curls on changes in elbow flexors muscle size and strength. This was a between-group repeated measures randomized trial. Sixty-three young women performed preacher biceps curl (PC, n = 30) or incline biceps curl (IC, n = 33) for 8 weeks, twice a week.

Acute, traumatic distal biceps tendon ruptures are a common injury in the middle-aged athletic male population, with direct anatomic surgical repair being the most effective technique to restore maximal strength. Multiple techniques for distal biceps tendon repair have been described, including single- or dual-incision approaches and tendon fixation with cortical buttons, interference screws, suture anchors, and transosseous sutures. In this Technical Note, we demonstrate an anatomic distal biceps tendon repair technique with a single-incision approach using 2 all-suture cortical buttons.

Background: High-level median or ulnar nerve injuries and repairs typically result in suboptimal re-innervation of distal muscles. Functioning Free Muscle Transplantation (FFMT) is increasingly recognized as an effective method to restore function in chronic muscle denervation cases. This study investigates the efficacy of using an additional FFMT, neurotized by lateral sprouting axons from a repaired high-level mixed nerve in the upper limb, to enhance distal hand function.

As a biarticular muscle, the biceps brachii both supinates the forearm and flexes the elbow and shoulder, thus allowing the upper limb to perform a variety of activities of daily living (ADL). The biceps brachii originates on the coracoid apex as well as the supraglenoid tubercle and inserts on the radial tuberosity. At the distal end, the bicipital aponeurosis (BA) provides a transition of the biceps tendon into the antebrachial fascia.
