Complications of Distal Biceps Tendon Repair
نویسندگان
چکیده
Methods: A systematic review was conducted using the PubMed, MEDLINE, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), SPORTSDiscus, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases to identify articles reporting distal biceps ruptures up to August 2013. We included English-language articles on adult patients with a minimum of 3 cases reporting singleand double-incision techniques. Frequencies of each complication as a percentage of total cases were calculated. Fisher exact tests were used to test the association between frequencies for each repair method, with P < .05 considered statistically significant. Odds ratios with 95% CIs were also computed.

Brachial Artery Injury during Surgical Repair of Distal Biceps Rupture: A Report of Two Cases
Distal biceps tendon ruptures are a result of an eccentric load onto a flexed elbow and can lead to loss of flexion and supination strength. Surgical treatment is a well-accepted treatment that can improve flexion and supination strength, however, can be associated with a number of surgical complications. The case presented here describes a vascular injury sustained during a distal biceps tendo...
متن کاملMultiple nerve injuries following repair of a distal biceps tendon rupture--case report and review of the literature.
Current repair of a distal biceps tendon rupture has reverted to the single incision technique. Postoperative complications are rare, but the most common are due to neuropraxia. We present the case of patient who sustained multiple nerve injuries following distal biceps repair. This case is presented with a review of the literature.

BACKGROUND Repair of a distal biceps tendon rupture is a challenging procedure and, to date, there is no consensus as to which technique should be used because of the specific complications reported for each. PURPOSE A new endoscopic technique is described that uses a suture anchor to repair distal biceps tendon ruptures. STUDY DESIGN Case series; Level of evidence, 4. METHODS The results...
متن کاملSingle Incision Distal Biceps Repair With Hemi-Krackow Suture Technique: Surgical Technique and Early Outcomes.
BACKGROUND Many surgical methods exist for distal biceps repair. We present the technique and early outcomes of a series of distal biceps repairs completed with a novel suturing technique utilizing a hemi-Krackow locking stitch at the tendon-bone interface. METHODS A retrospective review was performed of patients who underwent primary distal biceps repair using a single anterior incision with...
متن کاملThe effect of repair of the lacertus fibrosus on distal biceps tendon repairs: a biomechanical, functional, and anatomic study.
BACKGROUND To date, repair of the lacertus in distal biceps tendon ruptures, recommended by some, has not been evaluated. The goal of these biomechanical experiments was to evaluate the degree to which its repair increases the strength of a distal biceps tendon repair. HYPOTHESIS An intact or repaired lacertus fibrosus will increase the strength of a distal biceps tendon repair. STUDY DESIG...
متن کاملDistal biceps brachii tendon rupture resulting in acute compartment syndrome.
Distal biceps brachii tendon rupture is an uncommon injury. Compartment syndrome of the upper arm is rarely described in the literature. The diagnosis of upper arm compartment syndrome requires a high index of suspicion, and emergent surgical treatment with fasciotomy in the acute setting is necessary to avoid devastating neurovascular complications. This article reports a case of acute compart...
