Efficacy of the "Salento technique", a modified two-incision approach in distal biceps brachii tendon repair. Surgical description and outcomes analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The biceps brachii lesion needs to be treated surgically. A modified two incisions technique is proposed and reviewed. Material and Methods: All patients were treated with the same technique. The outcomes were measured with the Quick-DASH Score (QDS), and the Mayo Elbow Performance Score (MEPS). Postoperative complications and distal biceps tendon strength were registered also.

Results

At one year from the trauma, the QDS and the MEPS were excellent in all patients. 72.97% fully recovered and returned to work after 6 months from the trauma.

Discussion

This technique, thanks to its preservation of anatomical structures, provides great outcomes.

One- versus two-incision technique for distal biceps tendon repair.

Project description:There are several techniques that have been described for distal biceps tendon repair but there is still controversy regarding the optimal technique. Our hypothesis is that the single-incision technique will have a similar complication rate and functionally equivalent restoration of function compared with the two-incision approach. A retrospective review of consecutive biceps tendon repairs was performed at one institution over a 5-year period. Thirty-six patients met the inclusion criteria and 26 were available for follow-up including subjective assessment, physical examination, and strength testing. Patients were divided into two groups based on the surgical approach utilized: 12 patients underwent single-incision repair and 14 had a two-incision repair. The average follow-up was 33 months (minimum 13; maximum 75). There were no statistically significant differences in regards to flexion strength or endurance, supination strength or endurance, or complication rates between the two techniques. In conclusion, both surgical techniques led to adequate restoration of strength with a low complication rate. Both techniques are safe to perform and should be guided by surgeon comfort with the approach.

Single-Incision Anatomic Repair Technique for Distal Biceps Tendon Rupture Using Tunneling Device.

Project description:Distal biceps tendon ruptures are uncommon and generally occur in men aged 30 to 50 years in their dominant arm as a result of a strong eccentric load. Numerous surgical exposures and methods of fixation exist for repair of a ruptured distal biceps tendon. The goal of surgical management is to restore the anatomic footprint of the biceps tendon on the radial tuberosity to maximize flexion strength, supination strength, and muscle endurance. When compared with 2-incision repair techniques, single-incision repairs historically may not have restored the anatomic footprint of the distal biceps. Single-incision repair with the ArthroTunneler is a safe and effective technique that provides the anatomic restoration of a 2-incision approach with the decreased complication profile of a single-incision approach and does not require suture anchors, buttons, screws, or other implants.

Single-Incision Technique for Repair of Distal Biceps Tendon Avulsions With Intramedullary Cortical Button.

Project description:Patients who experience distal biceps tendon avulsions generally benefit from surgical intervention. Compared with nonoperative treatment, surgery has shown improved muscle endurance as well as increased flexion and supination strength. Although a number of surgical techniques exist, repair of the distal biceps through a single incision is gaining popularity. This may be due in part to patient preference and emerging technologies such as cortical button fixation, suture anchors, and intraosseous screws. In this report, we present a simple technique for anatomically repairing distal biceps injuries using an intramedullary tenodesis button. This technique has the benefit of using a single unicortical drill hole in the radius while allowing the surgeon to sequentially tighten the tendon to its desired level of tension. When appropriate surgical steps are followed, it can be completed in a reliable, safe, and efficient manner through a single incision.

Single-Incision Distal Biceps Tendon Repair With Bicortical Tensionable Locking Button Fixation.

Project description:Acute, traumatic distal biceps tendon injuries are common among the middle-aged athletic male population. Surgical repair of distal biceps tendon remains the most effective means to restore maximal strength of forearm supination and elbow flexion with relief of antecubital pain. To date, no consensus exists on the optimal fixation method during distal biceps tendon repair and multiple techniques are accepted, including 1- and 2-incision approaches and tendon fixation with suture anchors, transosseous sutures, interference screws, and cortical buttons. In this Technical Note, we demonstrate a distal biceps tendon repair technique using a single-incision approach with bicortical, tensionable suspensory button fixation.

Anatomic Single-Incision Repair of Distal Biceps Tendon Ruptures Using Flexible Reamers.

Project description:Distal biceps tendon ruptures are treated operatively in active healthy individuals. Treatment consists of either single- or double-incision techniques, each with its own set of advantages and complications. The double incision was traditionally preferred for a more anatomic reattachment of the distal biceps tendon, but there has been renewed interest in the single-incision anterior approach given its lower risk for heterotopic ossification. However, current single-incision techniques cannot achieve anatomic reconstruction of the distal biceps because of a restricted operational angle with standard rigid instruments. The purpose of this study was to introduce a single-incision technique using flexible instrumentation, flexible guide pins, and flexible reamers that allows for an insertion point that better approximates the anatomic footprint of the distal biceps on the tuberosity. This offers the theoretical advantage of restoring forearm supination mechanics, while still maintaining the benefits of a single limited anterior exposure.

Distal Biceps Tendon Repair Using a Double Tension Slide Technique.

Project description:Distal biceps tendon ruptures are thought to be secondary to an acute forceful eccentric load on a degenerative tendon. Nonoperative treatment following rupture leads to significantly decreased forearm supination and elbow flexion strength. There are several techniques described in the literature for repair. This article describes, with video illustration, distal biceps tendon repair using a double tension slide technique with 2 No. 2 high-tension nonabsorbable composite sutures.

Anatomic Single-Incision Repair of Distal Biceps Tendon Ruptures Using Intramedullary Soft Anchors.

Project description:Distal biceps tendon ruptures are uncommon injuries responsible for only 3% of all injuries to the biceps tendon. For most of these cases, unless the patient is elderly or infirm, conservative management should be avoided and the injury should be treated with a surgical procedure to reattach the bicep tendon to the radial tuberosity. In this Technical Note and accompanying video, we describe an anatomic single-incision technique using 2 intramedullary soft anchors, which decreases the likelihood of complications associated with bicortical drilling and metal suspensory fixation.

Results of single-incision distal biceps tendon repair for early-career upper-extremity surgeons.

Project description:BackgroundThe purpose of this investigation was to assess surgical outcomes after distal biceps tendon (DBT) repair for upper-extremity surgeons at the beginning of their careers, immediately following fellowship training. We aimed to determine if procedure times, complication rates, and clinical outcomes differed during the learning curve period for these early-career surgeons.MethodsAll cases of DBT repairs performed by 2 fellowship-trained surgeons from the start of their careers were included. Demographic data as well as operative times, complication rates, and patient reported outcomes were retrospectively collected. A cumulative sum chart (CUSUM) analysis was performed for the learning curve for both operative times and complication rate. This analysis continuously compares performance of an outcome to a predefined target level.ResultsA total of 78 DBT repairs performed by the two surgeons were included. In the CUSUM analysis of operative time for surgeon 1 and 2, both demonstrated a learning curve until case 4. In CUSUM analysis for complication rates, neither surgeon 1 nor surgeon 2 performed significantly worse than the target value and learning curve ranged from 14 to 21 cases. Mean Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder, and Hand score (QuickDASH) (10.65 ± 5.81) and the pain visual analog scale scores (1.13 ± 2.04) were comparable to previously reported literature.ConclusionsThese data suggest that a learning curve between 4 and 20 cases exists with respect to operative times and complication rates for DBT repairs for fellowship-trained upper-extremity surgeons at the start of clinical practice. Early-career surgeons appear to have acceptable clinical results and complications relative to previously published series irrespective of their learning stage.

Two-Incision Distal Biceps Repair with Cortical Button: A Technique to Improve Supination Strength.

Project description:Tears of the distal biceps are common, and nonoperative treatment results in significant loss of supination strength. Surgery is indicated for most patients to restore this supination strength. Both 1- and 2-incision techniques are successful, but each has its own advantages and disadvantages. We believe the 2-incision technique better restores the anatomic attachment site of the tendon, which leads to better supination strength and has a lower rate of neurologic injury. Although it does have a slightly higher risk of synostis, this can be mitigated by routine prophylaxis with NSAIDs. Augmenting the repair with a cortical button has been shown to increase the load-to-failure better than the traditional 2-incision technique that employs transosseous fixation. Here we present our technique of 2-incision distal biceps repair with cortical button, a technique intended to maximize supination strength.
