ABSTRACT

Distal rupture of biceps tendon is a rare disease, it concerns only 1,2 patient per 100000 in one year,[1] and 3% of distal rupture of biceps brachii,[2] it is especially found in male between the age of 30 and 50 with strong physical activity.[2,3,4,5] to explain this rupture some theories indicate : fragilization of the tendon by the frictions during the motion,[6] hypovascularisation.[7] There is no doubt that the surgical treatment represents the best functional outcome.[8] There are many technics, non-anatomical one is the tenodesis of biceps brachii with the anterior brachialis, and the anatomical one is the transosseous reattachment and the reattachment with anchoring on the radial tuberosity or with an endobutton. We choose the transosseous reattachment with endobutton to treat our patients.
