[Rupture of the distal biceps tendon. Case report--modified after-care].
The surgical therapy of the rupture of a distal biceps tendon and a modified postoperative treatment is described. Mainpoint is the early treatment in anaclisis of Kleinert as it is standardized in the treatment of ruptures of the flexor tendons of the hand. A forearm orthesis with a simply ROM-joint without reboundmechanism was used. Possible benefits are shown and further industrial evolution seems to be indicated.
