Ultrasound-guided repair of the distal biceps tendon

Surgical repair of the distal biceps tendon rupture can be a challenge, especially when patients present with a retracted tendon. The tendon stump is often difficult to find and retrieve. In this aticle, we described a technique using ultrasound imaging at the start of the procedure. Under ultrasoun...
