OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to present the long term results of primary tenodesis in the treatment of distal biceps tendon rupture. METHODS: Patients previously treated for distal tendon rupture were evaluated. In all cases anatomical reattachment with a single-incision through the anterior approach was performed with either a screw and washer (modified McReynolds technique) or a Mitek Anchor. Analysis was performed using clinical and radiological examination and DASH score at the end of 2011. RESULTS: Twenty-one patients (21 males; mean age: 47.5 years) were treated for distal biceps tendon rupture. Fixation was performed using the modified McReynolds technique in 11 and Mitek Anchor in 10 patients. The McReynold technique had excellent result in 63.6% of patients, a 9.1% risk of implant failure and a mean DASH score of 7.8. The Mitek Anchor technique had excellent result in 60% of patients, a 10% risk of implant failure and a mean DASH score of 7.4. CONCLUSION: Operative treatment for distal biceps tendon rupture appears to be a safe and effective method and consistently yields good results.
