Introduction:
Intrasubstance biceps brachii rupture is a rare injury. Non-operative management of this injury has demonstrated worse outcomes than early operative intervention.
Case report:
We report a case of a traumatic long head of the biceps brachii muscle belly rupture repaired primarily throughthe Kragh technique augmented with human dermal collagen matrix. The patient demonstrated full strength, an intact repair throughclinical exam and magnetic resonance imaging at 6-year follow-up. Dash scoring demonstrated 0 (no disability) out of 100 at this time.
Conclusion:
Repair of acute traumatic closed transection of the biceps brachii can be successfully repaired utilizing this technique with excellent post-operative function.
