Abstract

Distal biceps tendon ruptures are uncommon injuries, accounting for just 3% of cases of biceps ruptures. In 96% of patients, an impairment of the long head occurs, and in 1% of the short head [1-9], proximally on the shoulder. It typically affects the dominant limb of middle-aged men, between 30 and 60 years of age [4,5,10-16]. In 1843, Starks apud Quach et al. [14] pioneered the description of the injury and in 1897, Johnson [17] was responsible for the first surgical correction. The prevalence is of approximately 1.2 cases/100 000 inhabitants, but it has increased with the current growing practice of sports activities.
