Overview

A clinical evaluation of the results of conservative treatment after distal biceps tendon rupture with a minimum follow up of 1 year.

The results will be evaluated with clinical scores (MEPS, DASH and SF-12) and strenght and fatigue evaluations with dynamometers for both flexion and supination of elbow and forearm. The results of the affected side will be compared with the controlateral side

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Age greater than or equal to 18 years old at time of injury
  • Complete acute distal biceps tendon rupture diagnosed and evaluated at IRCCS Istituto ortopedico Rizzoli between 2000 and 2024 treated conservatively

Exclusion Criteria:

  • < 18 years at time of injury
  • Patients who present controindications to the strenght evaluation
  • Patients who have developed other non correlated injuries to the affected arm (e.g. fractures or tendon injuries)
  • Patients treated surgically for distal biceps tendon rupture
