ABSTRACT

A 38 old year patient is presented with a complete rupture of the biceps tendon and its aponeurotic expansion, secondary to an effort of the limb in supination and extension of the forearm and elbow. An uncommon problem, and with multiple incidents and complications with the pathology itself and for the surgeon management. A new solution is offered, utilizing just one ventral incision, and fixation with biodegradable material of the tendon to its anatomical location, which represents minimal aggression and a simple and effective option for this problem.
