文摘

Suspensory cortical fixation is commonly used for distal biceps tendon repair and reconstruction with one of several commercially available devices. The single-incision approach typically used with these devices is believed to have a lower incidence of heterotopic ossification than the dual-incision technique, but the true incidence of heterotopic ossification is unknown. The role of chemotherapeutic or radiation prophylaxis is undefined. We have identified 4 cases of extensive heterotopic ossification after biceps fixation with a suspensory button and single-incision approach. Surgeons should be aware of this potential complication when using suspensory cortical buttons for distal biceps fixation.
