The biceps brachii is the main supinator of the forearm. Unless the ruptured distal tendon is reattached to its correct anatomical site on the radial tuberosity, its action cannot be restored. We report four cases treated surgically, who all regained full forearm function, and on the basis of our experience suggest a simple method of reattaching the tendon

Summary. Surgical treatment of biceps distal tendon ruptures shows better functional results, compared to a conservative treatment. Recently, the one-incision surgical technique is becoming more and more popular. Task of the study: representation of a technique to recover a distal biceps tendon with a single incision and fixation with an Endobutton. Materials and methods: the single-incision technique for a distal biceps tendon recovery comprises of several steps: an incision place and layer-wise access, preparation of the distal biceps tendon, preparation of the radial tuberosity, fixation of the tendon. Results. The knowledge of anatomy and the correct sequence of steps in the single-incision technique with the fixation of a tendon with Endobutton (by ChM) makes the recovery of distal biceps tendon efficient, reliable, and, what is more important, safe.

Background: The biceps brachii is an important muscle of anterior compartment of arm. It shows frequent anatomic variability due to presence of supernumerary heads. Knowledge of the existence of the third head of biceps brachii is important for surgeons. Keeping this in mind a study was planned to see the incidence of additional head of biceps brachii in sample Indian population and to compare it with other racial groups.Methods: The study was carried out on 30 cadaveric upper limbs. The upper limbs were dissected and studied for the presence of additional head of biceps brachii. The attachment and nerve supply of the additional head was carefully observed, recorded and documented.Results: Out of 30 limbs which were dissected, additional head of biceps brachii was found only in two limbs. In both the cases the additional head was present only on the right side and arose from the anterior surface of humerus, superomedial to the origin of brachialis. The additional head fused with the common bulk of the muscle and was inserted into the radial tuberosity and bicipital aponeurosis. The extra heads of biceps brachii muscle received branches from musculocutaneous nerve.Conclusions: Biceps brachii is one of the commonest muscles showing variations. The additional head is not only of academic importance, but its knowledge also helps clinicians in managing fractures of humerus and nerve entrapment.

Introduction: Biceps brachii is one of the functionally important muscles of front of the arm. As the name indicates biceps brachii is having two heads of origin and it inserts on the posterior surface of radial tuberosity. Variations may be present in the form of additional heads of origin or they may be present at its insertion. These variations may affect action of muscle and may cause compression of nearby neurovascular structures. Aim: To determine the variation in anatomy of biceps brachii with respect to its origin, insertion and its nerve supply. Materials and Methods: The present osteological study was conducted on 32 arms of embalmed cadavers (including both right and left) of Department of Anatomy, SRMS IMS, Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, India from 2015-2018 period. The dissection of arm was done according to standard guidelines and biceps brachii muscle was cleaned. The origin, insertion and nerve supply of biceps brachii muscle was observed and noted for any variation. Results: In the present study an additional head of origin of biceps on right and left side of two cadavers were found. In present study inferomedial origin of biceps brachii was found. The present study also showed the presence of musculotendinous slip at its insertion. This slip was going towards the muscle belly of pronator teres. Conclusion: There are numerous variations seen in biceps brachii which can put a surgeon in dilemma and it may result in iatrogenic injuries. Hence, it is important to have a knowledge about its variations so that such injuries can be prevented.
