Interesting, but Lefty lost both insertions of the bicep. Can they reconstruct a bicep?

Well, I guess so:

Example of nerve graft procedure (non-technical)only. A search for *distal bicep repair after gunshot injury brings up examples of tendon grafts from hamstring or Achilles.

So, arduous and extensive recovery, but it can be done. Our reconstructive surgeons have learned a lot from war and street violence.

Lefty will suffer and he will work to regain function.
