[00:00:00]Ever wonder how distal bicep repair surgery is done?

[00:00:03]When the biceps tendon tears off the elbow, usually after a sudden heavy lift, surgery is used to reattach it to restore strength and rotation. The procedure typically starts [music] with anesthesia, so you're fully comfortable.

[00:00:16]A small incision is made near the front of the elbow to carefully find the retracted tendon while protecting nearby nerves and blood vessels.

[00:00:24]The surgeon cleans the end of the [music] tendon and prepares the bone on the radius where the tendon normally attaches. Small holes or a socket are created in the bone [music] and strong sutures are placed in the tendon. Using a button, anchor, or screws, the tendon is guided back to its original spot and securely fixed to the bone.

[00:00:43]Once tension and positioning are checked through gentle movement, the incision [music] is closed. The arm is placed in a brace or splint, and recovery begins with rest followed by physical therapy to gradually regain motion and [music] strength.
