Single incision power optimizing cost-effective (SPOC) distal biceps repair
چکیده انگلیسی

BackgroundThe purpose of this study was to review the results of a single anterior incision distal biceps tendon repair that reattaches the tendon to its posterior anatomic insertion site. We hypothesize this repair maximizes the supination torque of the biceps muscle throughout the full arc of forearm rotation.MethodsA consecutive series of patients with distal biceps tears were treated using a technique that reattaches the distal biceps tendon to the posterior radial surface similar to a 2-incision repair, which optimizes the biceps moment arm in all forearm positions including maximum supination. This method of distal biceps reattachment has been utilized in our practice since December 2008 on 40 distal biceps tendon repairs. Biodex testing was used to quantify the peak supination torque, the supination work, and the power of supination at each degree of forearm rotation and included on patients with a minimum clinical follow up of 12 months. Range of motion was also recorded.ResultsThirty patients met the inclusion criteria. Three patients, 2 of whom were lost to follow-up and 1 with bilateral repairs, were not included in this study. Seventeen of the remaining 27 patients completed strength testing using a Biodex Isokinetic Testing machine. Supination strength averaged 91% and 91% of the uninjured side at 60 and 120 deg/sec, respectively. Twenty-five (93%) patients reported no pain and had returned to work or normal activities.ConclusionA single anterior incision distal biceps tendon repair that maximizes supination torque throughout full forearm rotation has been utilized. No specialized anchors or equipment are required.
