Open or closed reduction and internal fixation of a combined Bennett and trapezial shear fracture? – Case reports -
Hand and Microsurgery, 2016Co-Authors: Shai Luria, Ido VolkAbstract:Reduction and internal fixation of a rare injury to the thumb trapezo-metacarpal joint is described in three patients, a combination of a Bennett type fracture with a shear fracture of the Radial Tuberosity of the trapezium. Although open reduction is recommended for most cases, closed reduction may be adequate in some.

Treatment of chronic biceps tendon ruptures
HAND, 2013Co-Authors: Mark T. Dillon, Jeffrey C. KingAbstract:Repair of distal biceps tendon ruptures has become widely accepted. Unfortunately, care of chronic injuries remains a challenge to the orthopedic surgeon. Patients with chronic ruptures often present complaining of weakness in elbow flexion and supination. Nonoperative management of these injuries does not restore function to the elbow. Tenodesis of the biceps tendon to the brachialis may improve flexion strength but does not reliably improve supination weakness. Addressing these injuries through restoration of anatomy, either with direct repair of the tendon to the Radial Tuberosity or with the use of a tendon graft to regain length, results in improved functional outcomes. Complications rates appear to be increased when surgery is performed in chronic injuries compared to those operated upon acutely.

Insertional anatomy and clinical relevance of the distal biceps tendon
Knee Surgery Sports Traumatology Arthroscopy, 2011Co-Authors: Chul-hyun Cho, Kwang-soon Song, In-jang Choi, Dae-kwang Kim, Jae-ho Lee, Hong-tae Kim, Yong-suk MoonAbstract:Purpose This study was undertaken to evaluate the incidence of bifurcated distal biceps tendons and the tendon’s insertional footprint on the Radial Tuberosity. Methods Twenty-five embalmed cadaveric specimens were dissected. The relationships and orientation of the muscle bellies and distal biceps tendon were examined. The insertional length, width, and footprint area of the distal biceps tendon on the Radial Tuberosity were evaluated. Results In 12 specimens (48%), the distal biceps tendon was in 2 distinct, easily separated parts. The average footprint length, width, and area of the tendon’s insertion on the Radial Tuberosity were 20.5 mm ± 2.0 mm, 9.7 mm ± 1.3 mm, and 156.3 mm^2 ± 29.4 mm^2, respectively. We calculated that the tendon’s insertion occupied approximately 35.9% of the area of the Radial Tuberosity. In the specimens with a bifurcated distal biceps tendon, the long head of the tendon inserted at the posterosuperior portion of the Radial Tuberosity, and the average area was 71.4 mm^2 ± 11.3 mm^2. The short head of the distal biceps tendon inserted at the anteroinferior portion, and the average area was 88.3 mm^2 ± 24.1 mm^2. Conclusion This study confirmed that bifurcated distal biceps tendon insertion is not a rare anatomical variation, showed by recent investigations, and found that the short head of the distal biceps tendon was inserted more anteriorly than the long head on the Radial Tuberosity. These findings may allow functional independence and isolated rupture of each portion. It can make correct diagnosis possible and allow for a more anatomical orientation of the tendon during surgical repair.
