Abstract

The distal biceps tendon (DBT) is often involved in anterior elbow pain, and open or endoscopic surgery may be indicated as a solution for treatment of the biceps pathology. Comprised of short and long head tendons, the DBT inserts into the radial tuberosity. There are several pathologies including: tendinopathy and enthesopathy, bicipitoradial bursitis, and partial and complete tears. The development of biceps endoscopy has transformed the management of DBT pathology through several surgical techniques including a single portal technique, dry endoscopy for footprint repair, and all-endoscopic techniques. Correct portal placement and endoscopic reconstruction techniques require intricate knowledge of the surgical anatomy of the DBT as there are several major neurovascular structures in close proximity.
