title: [Distal biceps tendon rupture. Clinical aspects--therapy--results].
abstract: Between 1980 and 1986 16 male patients of between 30 and 65 years of age were treated operatively because of distal biceps tendon ruptures. The operative procedures are reported and the results of a follow-up examination two years later are communicated. The good results of the applied operative treatment allow to recommend the operative procedure. A special method of measurement of muscle power is presented.
