“…Further, they have stated that the short and long head offer varying contribution not only to the distal tendon of biceps brachii but also to the BA [6]. Athwal et al [1] reported that the BA originated from the distal part of short head of the biceps in all 15 specimens studied; whereas, Eames et al [7] stated major role of long head in the formation of BA. Dirim et al [6] have reported that the BA is formed by superficial tendinous fibres arising from both muscle bellies.…”

“…This sudden overpowering force results in an acute avulsion of the distal tendon stump from the bicipital tuberosity. 2,3 Most often, distal bicep ruptures occur in the dominant arm (86%) of males between the ages of 30 and 50 years 4 with a history of tobacco use as a significant risk factor. 1,5 Despite its low annual incidence, distal biceps ruptures can lead to significant patient morbidity.…”

In cases of chronic distal biceps ruptures, the combination of muscle atrophy, distal tendon retraction, and fibrosis makes primary anatomic reattachment of the tendon particularly challenging. To regain tendon length and avoid flexion contractures, reconstruction with graft augmentation has been proposed as an alternative for cases not amenable to primary repair. We describe our technique using an Achilles allograft through a modified Henry approach to reconstruct the distal biceps tendon to regain length as well as restore flexion and supination strength. With proper and detailed exposure, chronic distal biceps injuries can be reconstructed safely and efficaciously using an Achilles allograft.

Distal biceps brachii tendon anatomy revisited from a surgical perspective

et al. 2009

The distal biceps brachii tendon is commonly susceptible to traumatic injury. This study aimed to describe the morphology of the distal biceps brachii tendon in relation to the commonly used endobutton repair of tendon rupture. The results suggested that the distal tendon is a series of distinct bands of variable number. These bands are obscured surgically by the tendon sheath. Upon opening this sheath, blunt dissection of the tendon released fibrous connections between the tendon bands. Adjacent bands were variably connected via small oblique bands. The separations between bands were continuous onto the radius. They were therefore considered as separate force-conducting units. This notion is of high relevance to endobutton repairs, as the sutures are typically only passed through the margins of the tendon. Where few connections exist between tendinous bands, this represents a potential weakness, as central bands are therefore free to be pulled proximally. This is of primary concern in the early rehabilitative stages of postoperative care. It may be suggested that sutures that cross the width of the tendon will eliminate the give of central bands, improving postoperative results, reducing revision numbers, and potentially reducing rehabilitation time.
