Abstract | :
Rupture of the distal biceps tendon is seen in both the emergency and primary care settings. It most commonly occurs after excessive tension exerted on a flexed forearm. Knowledge of the anatomy, pathophysiology, historical and physical examination findings, as well as the workup, diagnosis, and treatment of distal biceps tendon rupture are essential in achieving good outcomes, as delays in treatment can make surgical repair more challenging and less efficacious. |
