Abstract

The all-endoscopic distal biceps repair is a minimally invasive technique for acute and chronic retracted tendon tears. The procedure involves endoscopic mobilization and retrieval of the retracted tendon using arm endoscopy. The tendon is then shuttled through safe zones into the deeper plane of the cubital fossa and is repaired to the tuberosity under endoscopic visualization using suture anchors or buttons. This chapter describes technical steps and safety guidelines for the all-endoscopic distal biceps repair.
