Functional outcome after repair of distal biceps tendon ruptures using the endobutton technique

A Retrospective Evaluation of Anatomical Reinsertion of the Distal Biceps Brachii Tendon Using an ACL TightRope® RT with a Titanium Cortical Button and Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene Suture: A Preliminary Report

“…Greenberg et al then reported on the higher load to failure of cortical buttons in biomechanical models [21]. Peeters et al noted excellent results in terms of the clinical and radiological assessment of patients an average of 16 months after distal biceps tendon repair with the EndoButton [22].…”

“…This suggests that surgical repair might be more indicated for athletes, patients with high functional demands and patients who do not accept loss of strength or esthetic deformity (1,4,7) . Surgical repair may attain a muscle strength level similar to that of the unaffected contralateral limb (2,3,6,(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)20) . Studies on surgical treatment have demonstrated high levels of muscle strength and resistance for the elbow flexors and forearm supinators after surgical repair (2,3,6,(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)20) .…”

“…The injury mechanism is usually traumatic, and injury occurs when an eccentric load of 400 newtons or more is applied to the forearm with the elbow at 90°( [4][5][6] . Tendons with degenerative characteristics secondary to bursopathy and conditions that affect collagen metabolism may also be factors predisposing towards this type of lesion (2,(7)(8)(9)(10)(11) . The clinical condition comprises sudden acute pain in the region of the cubital fossa that persists for a few hours, followed by a less intense pain that may When proximal retraction occurs, use of grafts is indicated in order to perform tenodesis (6,(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(19)(20)(21) .…”

To assess muscle strength after the operation, measurements on the moment of force and torque at constant velocity can be made using the isokinetic test (8,16,17,20) .…”
