Abstract
sion approach was used and repaired with anchor sutures. Results: Time to surgery, mean of 13.6 days, follow up mean 13.5 weeks, range 9 26 weeks. 2 patients lost to follow up at 9 weeks. Full range of movement in 15/17 patients. Pre-injury strength regained in 12/17 patients. 2 patients had reasonable power at 12 weeks. Slow improvement in 2 patients at week 12. 2 patients had complications, 1 had injury to lateral cutaneous nerve of the forearm, and 1 had a superficial blister proximal to the wound. Conclusions: Single incision approach has a low complication rate and a high satisfaction outcome. It provides acceptable functional recovery of elbow and forearm mechanics and we believe it a safe repair for distal biceps tendon injuries.
