METHOD FOR FIXATION OF DISTAL TENDON OF BICEPS MUSCLE OF ARM TO TUBEROSITAS RADII Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A61B17/56 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: method involves isolating a distal tendon through a skin incision along an anterior surface of a lower one-third of the shoulder, applying a tendon suture, approaching the tuberositas radii along a posterior surface of an upper one-third of the forearm. The suture of the distal tendon of the biceps is applied in a sagittal plane; two parallel canals of the diameter of 2 mm are formed in the tuberositas radii with two ligature ends brought through, tightened and tied up on the posterior surface of the radial bone opposite to the tuberositas radii.

EFFECT: reliable anatomically and biomechanically supported fixation of the distal tendon of the biceps muscle of the arm to the tuberositas radii enabling invoking the early functional treatment, reducing the length of recovery of the full range of the elbow motions and providing the average time for rehabilitation to 5-6 weeks.
