Distal biceps pathology: an evidence-based approach

Research output: Contribution to journalArticle (journal)peer-review

Abstract

Distal biceps tendons are a potential source of anterior elbow pain, with pathology ranging from tendinopathy to degenerative ruptures and acute traumatic ruptures. In some instances, non-surgical management is appropriate, but the majority of acute ruptures should be managed surgically for superior outcomes. This article will discuss distal biceps pathology, the relevant surgical anatomy, fixation and approach options and the potential complications following repair and reconstruction.
