Repair of Chronic Ruptures of the Distal Biceps Tendon Using Flexor Carpi Radialis Tendon Graft

Five patients with chronic distal biceps tendon ruptures underwent tendon repair using double-looped flexor carpi radialis tendon graft. Fixation was performed with suture anchors through a single anterior incision. All patients had excellent functional results at a minimum 2-year follow-up.
