Biomechanical in Vitro Validation of Intramedullary Cortical Button Fixation for Distal Biceps Tendon Repair

Abstract

Double intramedullary cortical button fixation provides reliable fixation strength to the bone for distal biceps tendon repair and potentially minimizes the risk of posterior interosseous nerve injury. Further, based on a 2-point-fixation, this method may offer a wider, more anatomic restoration of the distal biceps tendon to its anatomic footprint.
