Distal Biceps Tendon Repair

Distal Biceps Tendon Repair is available through Mark Cuban Companies Health Plan at a published cash price, paid when you book.

Distal biceps tendon repair is a surgical procedure performed to reattach a torn or ruptured distal biceps tendon to the bone, typically the radial tuberosity of the forearm. The distal biceps tendon connects the biceps muscle in the upper arm to the radius bone in the forearm and is essential for elbow flexion and forearm rotation. Injuries to this tendon can occur due to sudden forceful movements or repetitive stress, resulting in pain, weakness, and loss of function. During the procedure, the surgeon makes an incision over the elbow, locates the torn tendon, and reattaches it to the radial tuberosity using sutures or anchors. This restores the continuity of the tendon and allows for proper function of the elbow and forearm. Recovery involves a period of immobilization followed by physical therapy to regain strength and range of motion in the arm.
