Distal Biceps Rupture

Distal Biceps Rupture

A distal biceps rupture off the radial tuberosity often presents with painful swollen elbow and significant loss of strength in rotation and flexion. Distal biceps tendon repair using the BicepsButton™ and tension-slide technique allows the surgeon to tension and repair the biceps tendon through a single anterior incision.

FiberTak<sup>®</sup> Biceps Tenodesis Technique

FiberTak^® Biceps Tenodesis Technique

The FiberTak Biceps Implant System delivers an all-suture anchor designed for use in open, onlay-tissue fixation procedures, particularly proximal and distal biceps repairs. The implant is double-loaded with sliding SutureTape and includes 4 attached needles. The system includes a FiberTak biceps implant, drill guide, 1.9 mm drill, and a free curved needle.

Tension-Slide Technique

Tension-Slide Technique

As part of the distal biceps repair procedure, the tension-slide technique with the BicepsButton™ implant provides a simple, reproducible, and biomechanically stable repair. This tensioning technique reliably draws the tendon against the distal cortex of the bone socket. Adding a tenodesis screw improves the biomechanical strength and allows the tendon to be placed in a more anatomic position.
