Our aim was to evaluate the outcome of our surgical technique for the repair of complete distal biceps tendon rupture in nonprofessional athletes. We examined the effect of our surgical technique in restoring the functionality of 11 injured limbs by correlating the total functional outcome of the repaired limb with their contralateral side.

Amyloidosis is a deadly systemic disease in which misfolded proteins accumulate in human tissue eventually leading to morbid dysfunction in multiple organ systems. The prognosis of untreated amyloidosis is poor. Orthopedic manifestations of amyloidosis include carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), trigger digit, distal biceps tendon rupture, rotator cuff disease, and lumbar spinal stenosis.

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.

Anatomic Distal Biceps Tendon Repair With All-Suture Cortical Buttons.

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.
