Abstract
Traumatic disruption of the radial attachment of the biceps brachii muscle may require surgical reattachment to obtain and maintain optimum anatomical relationships and ensure return to full, unlimited activity, particularly in the young athletic patient with high muscle performance demands. Postoperative evaluation and care following surgical reattachment of the avulsed radial tendon of the biceps brachii muscle has not previously been reported in the rehabilitation literature. The purpose of this case study is to report successful treatment of a gymnast using static splinting, controlled active mobilization of the elbow, and strengthening exercises following surgical reattachment of the avulsed radial attachment of the biceps brachii muscle.
