[Rupture of the distal tendon of the biceps--diagnosis and results].

For this reason, the clinical patterns are quite unknown. ⋯ Aetiology, diagnostic efforts and operative treatment are demonstrated as well as the results of a follow-up of 12 patients. The results of operative treatment are quite good and point out the need for operative treatment.
