J Hand Surg Am. 2006 May-Jun;31(5):798-800. doi: 10.1016/j.jhsa.2006.02.007.

Abstract

Complete ruptures of the distal biceps tendon are rare in women. The pathogenesis and gender bias of distal biceps ruptures remain poorly understood. We report a case of a woman with a complete distal biceps rupture who had a successful 1-incision repair with bone anchors.
