DISTAL BICEPS REPAIR 

When the end of the biceps tendon ruptures in the elbow, this causes a significant loss of power to flexion and supination. Surgery is generally recommended to restore normal power and function to the arm. A distal biceps repair is performed utilizing very strong suture material and an interference screw to securely dock the end of the tendon back to the radius attachment site. After full healing and rehabilitation, strength and function approach near normal levels.
