Case Report of a Bifid Distal Biceps Tendon with Traumatic Rupture and Subsequent Repair of Short Head Tendon Limb.

Distal biceps tendon ruptures are a topic of great interest in the orthopedic literature with differentiation between complete and partial tears being difficult to recognize. Recent cadaveric and radiologic studies have shown that the muscle maintains two distinct tendons and tendinous insertions. In this clinical case report, we describe the rare case of a patient with a congenitally bifid distal biceps tendon who selectively ruptured a single bundle of the tendon and subsequently underwent surgical repair.
