Use of the Medial Upper Arm Fascia to Bridge Biceps Tendon Defects

M. M. AL-QATTAN

From the Division of Plastic Surgery, King Saud University, Saudi Arabia

Correspondence: Corresponding author. Prof Mohammad M Al-Qattan, MBBS, FRCSC, King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia E-mail: moqattan{at}hotmail.com

Options to bridge biceps tendon defects which have been described in the literature include fascia lata, semitendinosus tendon, flexor carpi radialis, Achilles tendon–calcaneus composite allografts and Achilles tendon allografts. In this study, the author reports the use of the upper arm fascia. This option is considered most suitable for patients who require simultaneous pedicled latissimus dorsi flap coverage of concurrent traumatic complex anterior elbow defects.

Key Words: arm • fascia • biceps tendon • tendon grafts • acute • distal
