Long-term Outcomes of Complete Tears of the Distal Biceps Tendon: An Analysis of Surgical Management at a Median Follow-up of 14.7 Years
Complete tears of the distal biceps were most common in patients 50 years of age, male sex, right-hand dominant, and current/former smokers. The most common profession was laborer, and injuries were primarily traumatic in nature during intentional activity. Patients managed operatively demonstrated high rates of success at long-term follow-up with respect to elbow function and clinical outcomes.
