Abstract
The clinical and operative findings of an isolated rupture of the bice ps femoris tendon are described. The immediate suture and the initial postoperative treatment with a knee brace limiting extension to 20-deg rees and flexion to 70-degrees resulted in a free range of motion and full activity of the biceps femoris.
