title: [Rupture of the distal biceps tendon].
abstract: Eight avulsions of the distal biceps tendon were operatively treated between 1982 and 1985. The operative procedure and results of subsequent investigations are described. The problems of correlation between injury and trauma and its assessment by histological observations are discussed. The clinical results have been good. So we can recommend the operative method according to Platt.
