Abstract
Although not reported to be common, rupture of the distal biceps tendon is an injury that results in a loss of supination and flexion strength. The injury is most commonly caused by eccentric load on a flexed elbow. At the time of injury, a noticeable “pop or tear” is usually experienced and a clinical deformity is often apparent. Current treatment for this injury is often anatomic surgical reattachment of the tendon to the radial tuberosity. This article is a brief review highlighting recent literature in the past year that adds to our understanding of treatment.
