Chronic Distal Biceps Tendon Tear Reconstruction With Tibialis Anterior Allograft.


ABSTRACT: Chronic distal biceps tendon ruptures present a unique surgical challenge due to tendon retraction and shortening as well as muscle atrophy. Several graft choices and fixation methods have been described, with no one technique proving superior to date. We describe a technique wherein a tibialis anterior tendon allograft is Pulver-Taft weaved through the muscle belly to achieve incorporation with the muscle and tendonous fascia to achieve superior pull-out strength.
