Comparing single-incision and double-incision techniques in distal biceps tendon repair: A systematic review and meta-analysis

The single-incision technique appears to be associated with more favorable objective functional outcomes and fewer structural complications, whereas the double-incision approach may reduce the risk of certain sensory nerve injuries. Further high-quality randomized trials are required to confirm these associations.

Abstract

The single-incision technique appears to be associated with more favorable objective functional outcomes and fewer structural complications, whereas the double-incision approach may reduce the risk of certain sensory nerve injuries. Further high-quality randomized trials are required to confirm these associations.
