Female patient with bilateral distal biceps tendon reconstruction: A case report.

ABSTRACT: This is a case of a 57-year-old healthy woman with traumatic bilateral distal biceps tendon rupture with tendon retraction requiring reconstruction. The functional outcomes were recorded pre-operatively and at 3 months, 6 months, 1 year and 2 years postoperatively. Conclusion: Distal biceps tendon rupture usually occurs in male patients; however, this injury may occur in females. Delay in treatment may result in tendon degeneration precluding repair. Distal biceps tendon reconstruction with Achilles allograft yielded favorable outcome in a middle-aged female patient who sustained bilateral distal biceps tendon rupture.
