Video Summary
In this video, Dr. Gus Mazzocca discusses distal biceps tears, including anatomy, biomechanics, complications, and surgical techniques. He touches on historical literature, anatomical structures, clinical indications, non-operative treatments, and surgical repairs using various methods like single incision, two-incision, suture anchors, and more. Distal biceps tears are often caused by eccentric contractions and commonly occur in men due to activities like lifting heavy objects. The video explores the importance of proper diagnosis through physical exams, radiological imaging like MRI, and surgical indications and contraindications. Dr. Mazzocca emphasizes the significance of early post-operative range of motion exercises to reduce stiffness and heterotopic ossification. He also discusses surgical techniques, management of complications like nerve injuries, and long-term outcomes of operative and non-operative treatments. The use of allografts for tendon augmentation in complex cases is also highlighted. Overall, the video provides comprehensive insights into distal biceps tears and the surgical approaches to address them effectively.
