Abstract
Rupture of the distal biceps and triceps tendons are uncommon injuries but they are becoming increasingly recognised. Conservative management may result in functional deficit, especially in young active patients undertaking manual occupations. There is a consensus that operative management results in an excellent outcome. The optimal approach and technique used remains controversial. This article reviews the epidemiology, anatomy, biomechanics, aetiopathogenesis, diagnosis and current management trends as well as reported outcomes for ruptures of the distal biceps and triceps tendons.
