The purpose of this study was to evaluate the demographics, complications and prodromal symptoms (any pain or unpleasant sensation in the area distal biceps tendon preceding the injury) of distal biceps tendon tears (DBTTs) of patients treated with primary repair or Achilles allograft reconstruction.228 consecutive DBTTs in 226 patients from a single centre were evaluated. The demographic data, prodromal symptoms and postoperative adverse events were documented.There were 225 males and 1 female patient. The age distribution showed a bimodal pattern in the whole cohort, but once the 48 (20%) elite athletes were excluded, the age was normally distributed, peaking in the 5DBTT is a condition that affects men predominantly. The observed bimodal incidence distribution was related to elite athletes, but in the normal population the peak occurs at the age typical to tendinopathies. LABCN neurapraxia was the most common adverse event, and graft use does not seem to predispose to adverse events. |
