V. M. 1 Introduction The most commonly injured tendon of the elbow is the distal biceps. These injuries can be acute, chronic, or partial tears. 1,2 The injury typically occurs in the dominant arm in patients 40–60 years of age and often results from forced eccentric loading of the flexed elbow. Patients often report a sudden painful pop or tearing sensation in the antecubital fossa. 3 Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is beneficial in distinguishing between partial and full tears as well as preoperative determination of tendon location.

The brachial artery bifurcates into the radial and ulnar arteries at the level of the radial head. The radial recurrent vessels branch from the radial artery and pass laterally and proximally across the antecubital fossa. The biceps tendon lies anterior to the radial recurrent vessel. The radial recurrent vessels often need to be ligated to gain access to the bicipital tuberosity during repair and, if not properly coagulated or ligated, can be a source of significant bleeding and hematoma. The radial nerve exits the arm between the brachialis and the brachioradialis, dividing into the posterior interosseous nerve (PIN) and the superficial branch of the radial nerve just anterior to the lateral humeral epicondyle.
