Abstract

Background: Short head of the biceps brachii rupture is a rare lesion, and usually happens in high-speed sports such as parachuting and wakeboarding in traction mechanism, resulting in loss of biceps function. Early surgical treatment achieves better clinical outcomes. There is no isolated short head of the biceps brachii arthroscopic repair described in literature. Indications: Acute traumatic short head of the biceps brachii rupture in active patients. Technique Description: Short head of the biceps brachii and coracobrachialis nonabsorbable double suture. Short head of the biceps brachii reinsertion in coracoid process with an anchor. Results: Satisfactory repair of the biceps lesion. The patient regained active range of motion in 8 weeks and full return to sport in 16 weeks. Conclusion: Isolated short head of the biceps brachii arthroscopic repair is a minimally invasive technique with good functional result and has not been described in the literature yet. It restores bicep’s function and a satisfactory return to sport. The author(s) attests that consent has been obtained from any patient(s) appearing in this publication. If the individual may be identifiable, the author(s) has included a statement of release or other written form of approval from the patient(s) with this submission for publication.
