Mini-Open Distal Biceps Tendon Repair Using All-Suture Anchors

Distal biceps tendon ruptures are uncommon injuries that can cause impairment in range of motion and function. While distal bicep tendon repair to the radial tuberosity has been demonstrated to restore function and strength, there is a lack of consensus on the optimal technique. The purpose of this...
