Distal Biceps Rupture: Posterior Anatomic Footprint Repair

Distal Biceps Rupture: Posterior Anatomic Footprint Repair

2019
Joseph Styron
Abstract
The native anatomy of the distal biceps tendon is that it inserts onto the posterior aspect of the radial tuberosity, allowing the radial protuberance to act as a mechanical cam to optimize supination strength and power. Restoring the distal biceps to its native posterior insertion further allows patients the ability to regain nearly all of their lost supination and flexion strength and power. The Posterior Anatomic Footprint Repair is a reliable technique for preserving the radial protuberance, restoring footprint anatomy, and recovering supination strength and theoretical power.
