Abstract
There are several techniques used for tendon fixation in distal biceps tendon repair. Intramedullary unicortical button fixation has the advantage of high biomechanical strength, minimal proximal radial bone removal, and low risk of injury to the posterior interosseous nerve. One disadvantage in revision surgery is retained implants in the medullary canal. This article describes a novel technique for revision distal biceps repair initially fixed with intramedullary unicortical buttons, using the original implants.
