Abstract
The biceps brachii is the main forearm supinator, and this is a direct consequence of its anatomic arrangement. The primary aim of distal biceps repair is to restore supination strength and function. Distal biceps tendon ruptures have been treated successfully with a variety of techniques. Both cadaveric and clinical studies demonstrate that anatomic repairs significantly improve the supination when compared to more anterior repairs; this chapter describes a technique, using a cortical button that better recreates the anatomic footprint compared to other current techniques.
