Aim of study: The rupture of the distal brachial tendon is a relatively infrequent trauma. Our aim is to present the results of surgical confrontation of 3 recent ruptures of that tendon.

Material and method: In 2002 we faced 3 patients of age of 31,.37,.50 years with a recent rupture of distal brachial tendon. The ruptures concerned the left winger bicipital which was the not prevailing hand and happened at the effort of lifting of weight. The intervention was realised between 2nd and 10th day from the rupture. All the damage was argued by MRI. We applied the modified technique at Boyd -Anderson. The repairing of the tendon, via two sections, occured with suture Dexon No 2, via his natural passage, in the tuberositas radii. This technique was preferred in order not to cause damage to the posterior interosseous nerve.

Results: The follow up was 8–12 months from surgery. The results in all three were excellent with full range of movement and force of bending, extent, pronation, supination.

Conclusions: The results that we had lead us to the conclusion that the method of election in the young active adults is the surgical repairing of the tendon in its anatomic place.
