This study aimed to collect relevant risk factors associated with distal biceps tendon rupture from the published literature. This systematic review aimed to collect and tabulate the risk factors for distal biceps tendon rupture. Studies published in English were searched concerning risk factors for distal biceps tendon ruptures until July 2022; cohort studies, case series and randomized controlled trials were subjected to analysis. Case studies, cadaveric studies and reviews in any form were excluded. The studies were quantitatively and qualitatively reviewed. One hundred twenty-one articles presenting risk factors for distal biceps tendon ruptures were identified, recruiting a total of 7,484-7,576 patients. The average age of the individuals was 46.8 years, with 96.7% being males and 94.7% having affinity for sports activities. In 56.7% of the cases, the dominant arm was involved, and in 54.6%, the right arm was affected. The use of tobacco was found in 20.8% of cases and of anabolic steroids in 2.5% of cases. On average, 55.8% of distal biceps tendon rupture patients had a physical occupation and the most common mechanism of the injury was related to heavy weight lifting observed in 53.2% of subjects. The most common and outstanding reported risk factors for distal biceps tendon ruptures were age, sex and sports activity, i.e., middle-aged males being still physically active and practicing sports. Steroid usage does not seem to increase significantly the risk of the distal biceps tendon rupture.</p>","PeriodicalId":7306,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Clinical and Experimental Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"257-268"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142612361","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
