ABSTRACT
Rupture of the long head of the biceps tendon causes difficulties for upper limb function and arm aesthetics. We present a male patient with a rupture of the long biceps tendon, who was treated 15 years ago with surgical treatment; he is shown from his injury and treatment to his full recovery and current condition. The aim of the following work is to present a patient who was treated at "Mártires del 9 de Abril" Provincial General University Hospital, in Sagua la Grande, due to a rupture of the long head of the biceps in 2005. A form of bone anchorage, different from the classic one described in the literature, was used with excellent results. After 15 years, the case is presented and the subsequent evolution is detailed, the current function is assessed and interesting knowledge is provided for professionals who treat this condition.
