Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the functional outcome and quality of life in distal biceps tendon repair with single incision technique and anchor fixation method.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was made of patients with complete distal biceps tendon rupture. The chosen repair method was single incision technique with anchor fixation. The outcome was assessed with functional testing of the elbow with strength and ROM. Additionally Mayo elbow performance index, Oxford elbow score, Disability arm hand shoulder questionnaire and patient rated elbow evaluation scores were used to evaluate quality of life.
Results: Of the 28 patients, the average strength in flexion and supination was decreased with 91% and 89% of the strength compared to the non-injured arm. ROM was preserved in flexion, extension, supination and pronation. The mean scores for quality of life evaluation were MEPS = 96 ± 7.8, OES = 46.8 ± 1.9, DASH = 1.0 ± 1.9 and PREE = 2.0 ± 3.6. LABCN injury was the most common temporary complication with 30% followed by pain with 23%. Two patients were identified with HO and 1 patient was identified with median nerve injury. There were no cases of radioulnar synostosis and PIN injury.
Conclusion: Overall strength in flexion and supination were slightly decreased with preserved ROM. Patients reported nearly perfect quality of life as demonstrated with the scores. The complications rate was high with mainly minor complications. Distal biceps tendon repair with single incision technique and anchor fixation overall leads to a very satisfying outcome.
期刊介绍:
International Orthopaedics, the Official Journal of the Société Internationale de Chirurgie Orthopédique et de Traumatologie (SICOT) , publishes original papers from all over the world. The articles deal with clinical orthopaedic surgery or basic research directly connected with orthopaedic surgery. International Orthopaedics will also link all the members of SICOT by means of an insert that will be concerned with SICOT matters.
Finally, it is expected that news and information regarding all aspects of orthopaedic surgery, including meetings, panels, instructional courses, etc. will be brought to the attention of the readers.
Manuscripts submitted for publication must contain a statement to the effect that all human studies have been approved by the appropriate ethics committee and have therefore been performed in accordance with the ethical standards laid down in the 1964 Declaration of Helsinki. It should also be stated clearly in the text that all persons gave their informed consent prior to their inclusion in the study. Details that might disclose the identity of the subjects under study should be omitted.
Reports of animal experiments must state that the "Principles of laboratory animal care" (NIH publication No. 85-23, revised 1985) were followed, as well as specific national laws (e.g. the current version of the German Law on the Protection of Animals) where applicable.
The editors reserve the right to reject manuscripts that do not comply with the above-mentioned requirements. The author will be held responsible for false statements or for failure to fulfil the above-mentioned requirements.
