Single, double incision yielded low complication rates for distal biceps tendon rupture repair
Single, double incision yielded low complication rates for distal biceps tendon rupture repair
Regardless of approach or technique, results published in The American Journal of Sports Medicine showed an overall low rate of serious complications in the surgical repair of distal biceps tendon ruptures. However, higher rates of posterior interosseous nerve palsy, heterotopic bone formation and reoperation were found with the double-incision technique.
