Description
The webinar presents a detailed discussion on the topic of distal biceps and triceps tears, led by shoulder surgeon Joideep Phadnis from Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals. It covers essential aspects such as the pathoanatomy, diagnosis, and management of these injuries, catering to various scenarios including acute, chronic, and uncommon tear patterns. The importance of understanding the anatomy of the biceps, with its origin from two heads and insertion on the radial tuberosity, is highlighted. The speaker emphasizes the biomechanical role the biceps plays in forearm supination and discusses surgical approaches, fixation techniques, and outcomes. An X-ray demonstration provides insight into the repair process, while the lecture concludes with considerations for both surgical and non-operative treatments, underscoring the significance of early recognition and patient counseling.
