The patient was a 60-year-old man who was admitted to the hospital in August, 1991 because of pain and weakness in his right arm, after it had been injuried. There was a sharply convex bulge near the upper part of the right arm with local tenderness and weakness of flexion of the elbow and supination of the forearm as compaired to the left side. With the patient under axillary block anesthesia, the distal tendon of the right biceps brachii muscle was attached into the right radial tuberosity according to the Boyd and Anderson's procedure. The result has been satisfactory. About three months after the operation, the patient had regained almost complete function of his right arm.
