Tendon injuries are common in hand wounds and their functional consequences are not negligible. In emergency, tendon repairs techniques are well codified to restore function. These tendon repairs can be made in one session, in two sessions, or even use tendon transfers. Tendon transfers are not usual in the emergency but more common in the treatment of sequelae or failure of primary repair. We report one case of transfer to restore thumb flexion in emergency.

The pathophysiology of rotator cuff disease is complex, involving intrinsic and extrinsic factors that contribute to mechanical alterations, inflammation, apoptosis, and neovascularization. These changes result in structural and cellular disruptions, including inflammatory cell infiltration and collagen disorganization. Macrophages have recently gained attention as critical mediators of tissue repair and regeneration.

Avulsion of the triceps tendon is a rare injury accounting for less than 1% of all tendon injuries. The triceps is an extensor of the elbow and causes compromised function if left untreated. Complete ruptures should be treated with early repairs for satisfactory outcomes.

Failure of rotator cuff repairs contributes to decreased patient satisfaction and quality of life. Biologic enhancement of repairs represents a novel augmentation strategy attempting to reproduce native healing while concomitantly potentially decreasing the existing high failure rates associated with rotator cuff repairs. Scaffolds placed on top of the rotator cuff have been widely studied, yet no recreation of the native enthesis is achieved via this augmentation strategy.

Tearing of the subscapularis tendon is a common shoulder injury that typically requires arthroscopic repair. The suture-passing device is a standard tool for repairing the subscapularis tendon. However, it poses the risk of device breakage and may cause additional damage to the tendon.

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.
