This study clearly demonstrated that endoscopic repair of the ruptured distal biceps tendon is safe, effective, and reproducible. It provides good functional outcome and early recovery with few complications. Postoperative median nerve palsy due to edema is a possible concern for patients involved in athletic activity and with a history of nerve entrapment; thus this technique should be used with caution in this group of patients.

Level IV, retrospective study.
