To introduce a dual-incision surgical method for repairing distal biceps brachii tendon ruptures that restores anatomical function while minimizing exposure-related complications.
Described a surgical reinsertion technique that refixes the avulsed distal biceps tendon back onto its native footprint at the radial tuberosity.
Employed two distinct surgical incisions to reach the insertion site, deliberately bypassing the neurovascular hazards of a extensive single anterior exposure.
The technique successfully re-establishes the anatomical insertion of the distal tendon, restoring both flexion strength and forearm supination.
The two-incision strategy effectively avoids the technical challenges and nerve injury risks associated with direct anterior dissection of the radial tuberosity.
