The Complication Rate of Distal Biceps Repair

Most commonly, these injuries occur during ecentric contraction and in the dominant elbow of male patients in their forties. Several techniques exist for repair, including one and two incision approaches and various fixation methods such as bone tunnels,. Bison at all reviewed complications associated with the modified to incision technique for repair of distal biceps ruptures. Cussack at all reviewed the incidents of tend and re rupture followingdistal biceps repair using a cortical button and interference screw. Watson at all reported an overall complication rate of 24 point five%. This rate did not differ significantly between one or two incision techniques. Bone tunnel and cortical button fixation methods have significantly lower complication rates than did suture
