Reconstruction After Distal Biceps Tendon Rupture

Distal biceps ruptures are relatively uncommon, but should be diagnosed and treated promptly to have good outcome. In this review article we will briefly summarize the anatomy and mechanism of injury, but the focus of this article will be on diagnosis and treatment. The most up to date techniques for clinical examination are described. For the treatment, the most common surgical approach and fixation methods are explained. Throughout the article, the author shares his experience (inlcuding the author's preferred technique) in treating this pathology

Four-corner fusion versus proximal row carpectomy: a retrospective review with a minimal follow-up of 9 years

A retrospective survey on the long-term outcomes of both proximal row carpectomy (PRC) and scaphoidectomy with 4-corner arthrodesis (4CA) was conducted. Seventeen PRC and nine  4CA wrists were retrieved with a minimal follow-up of 9 years. Pain, satisfaction and disability were not significantly different. There was a better flexion and ulnar deviation in the PRC wrists. Conclusion: at long term, the outcome for PRC remains stable despite some series recently reported worsening of the results due to progressive degenerative arthritis. PRC seems to yield comparable clinical results compared to 4CA but a  slightly better range of motion than 4CA.
