“…They felt that a second dorsal incision was necessary to limit the volar surgical dissection required near the radial nerve as it passes through the supinator muscle. 2,6,8,11,14,17 Most subsequent reports and recent editions of standard operative texts have recommended this two-incision technique. 1,2,12,15 An anterior exposure through a single incision, as described by Henry, has been used at our institution during the last 15 years for the surgical management of this lesion.…”

“…Historically, the treatment of distal biceps ruptures had been conservative with early reports suggesting good function and early return to work (4,5). In the last 30 years, however, the literature almost universally advises operative intervention for the acute rupture.The quoted rationale is that there is a loss of power in elbow flexion of about 20-30% and 40-50% in forearm supination (5,6,7).…”

Early operative repair is the currently accepted treatment of distal biceps rupture. However, we describe 6 patients (with 7 ruptures), 5 of whom are in the armed forces with distal biceps tendon ruptures who, as a result of delays in presentation, were treated non-operatively. The subsequent clinical success of these patients (with three excellent, three good and one poor result), has led us to question whether the role of non-operative treatment has been underestimated within the orthopaedic, military and sports medicine literature. The more rapid rehabilitation of conservatively treated ruptures may well have implications for treatment of armed forces personnel.

“…Nonanatomic repairs such as reattachment to the brachialis tendon have been described, 9,10,21 but most authors report better results when an anatomic repair to the radial tuberosity is performed. 3,15,16 To overcome retracting of the tendon and leaving the patient with a flexion contracture, a graft is normally necessary to restore length.…”
