Abstract
We report a case of bilateral simultaneous rupture of the distal tendon of die biceps brachii muscle. A 56-year-old yachtsman had a double-sided rupture of the distal tendon of the biceps brachii On die left side die biceps tendon was sutured to me fascia of me brachialis muscle 3 months after me injury. On me right side, 3 months later, the procedure was supplemented with tendon transplantation with anatomical reinsertion. The operative treatment was followed by immobilization and rehabilitation. After 6 months die transplantation failed, and bilaterally me range of motion of the elbow including forearm rotation was normalized, the power of flexion was slightly reduced and me power of supination was markedly reduced. Two years after surgery, me flexion power was normalized, the patient was satisfied with the results and he was still a yachtsman.
