The operative technique utilised the Endobutton (Smith and Nephew) and is a substantial modification of that published by Greg Bain (JSES 2000: 9(2): 120-126).

We believe that these modifcations to Dr Bain&#8217;s technique offer a viable alternative with some benefits.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.upperlimb.com\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Cutbush_Ross_Duke_Distal_Biceps_Endobutton.pdf\">Download 1<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.upperlimb.com\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/biceps_2.pdf\">Download 2<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cutbush K, Roberts C, Duke PFR, Mitchell M, and Ross M Proceedings of the 9th Congress of the International Federation of Societies for Surgery of the Hand, Budapest Hungary 2004; 721-724.
