Video Transcription
Video Summary
The video discusses distal biceps tears and repairs, focusing on improving terminal supination strength during biceps tendon repair. Factors affecting strength include tendon reattachment site, tendon rotation, and repair technique. An anatomic repair at the native insertion site is crucial for regaining strength. The video emphasizes the importance of preserving the radial protuberance for enhanced supination torque with an onlay repair and an external tendon rotation. Surgical approaches, such as anterior and posterior, are also compared, with a posterior approach being preferred for easier access to the footprint. The video highlights the significance of protecting nerves during surgery and mentions the potential use of endomethacin to prevent heterotopic bone formation. The key message is to achieve an anatomic repair to restore strength and function effectively.
