Abstract

Rupture of the distal insertion of the biceps brachii may lead to severe functional impairment of the upper extremity on the basis of resultant weakness of elbow flexion and supination. When the diagnosis of a posttraumatic distal biceps tendon avulsion is made, a simple method of reattachment is possible and functionally warranted.
