Résumé

Objective: To review the results of reinsertion of distal rupture of the brachial biceps muscle with the doubleincision technique. Material and Methods: With a follow-up of five years, we assessed eleven patients operated on by the modified Morrey double-incision technique using harpoons for reinsertion and early mobilization of the elbow. All were male, smokers, and heavy exertion workers, with a mean age of 51 years. In 8 patients, rupture was of the tendon and 3 showed bone detachments. We analyzed the results measuring elbow flexion-extension and pronation-supination mobility with a goniometer and supination strength with a dynamometer. Elbow X-rays were analyzed, the DASH questionnaire was performed, and degree of personal satisfaction and pain were measured. Results: We did not observe any immediate or late postoperative complication. The results were excellent in 94% patients and good in 6%, and no rerupture occurred. Conclusion: Early intervention and meticulous technique can achieve an excellent result in repair of distal brachial biceps rupture.
