“…Some authors sustain that complication rate does not significantly differ between one and two-incision approaches (23,9% for one-incision procedures and 25,7% for two-incision procedures) [17]. Others claim that the double-incision has significantly lower complication rates than the single-incision-approach [18]. The objective of the present retrospective study was to describe the occurrence of the most frequent adverse events and clinical outcomes of patients undergoing surgical repair of distal biceps tendon with a modified double-incision technique.…”

BackgroundDistal biceps tendon rupture occurs more often in middle-aged male population, involving the dominant arm. In this retrospective study, it’s been described the occurrence of the most frequent adverse events and the clinical outcomes of patients undergoing surgical repair of distal biceps tendon rupture with the modified Morrey’s double-incision approach, to determine better indications for patients with acute tendon injury.MethodsSixty-three patients with acute distal biceps tendon rupture treated with a modified double-incision technique between 2003 and 2015 were retrospectively evaluated at a mean 24 months of follow-up. Clinical evaluation including range of motion (ROM) and isometric strength recovery compared to the healthy contralateral side assessment, together with documentation of nerve injury, was performed. Patients were asked to answer DASH, OES and MEPS scores.ResultsThe ROM recovery showed excellent results compared to the healthy contralateral side.The reported major complications included: one case of proximal radio-ulnar synostosis, 3 cases of posterior interosseous nerve (PIN) palsy and one case of a-traumatic tendon re-rupture. Concerning minor complications, intermittent pain, ROM deficiency < 30° in flexion/extension and pronation/supination, isometric flexion strength deficiency < 30% and isometric supination strength deficiency < 60%, lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerve (LACBN) injury, were observed. The average DASH score was 8.5; the average OES was 41.5 and the MEPS was 96.3.ConclusionThe Morrey modified double-incision technique finds its indication in young and active patients if performed within 2 weeks from injury. If performed by experienced surgeons, the advantages can exceed the drawbacks of possible complications.

“…Single incision surgery also lent itself to the newly introduced interference screw and cortical button techniques. There is still great debate as to whether one or 2 incision techniques have an effect on the risk of neurological injury [10,12]. However, it is now widely reported that range of movement outcomes are equivalent whether undertaken by a modified Boyd-Anderson or a single anterior incision approach [17].…”

“…In a recent systematic review by Kodde, et al [12] looking at the fixation techniques in 1074 patients, with 565/1074 using suture anchors, 321 using bone tunnels, 42 using interference screws and 146 using cortical buttons showed re-rupture rates of 1.9%, 1.5%, 2.3% and 1.3% respectively.…”

[3][4][5] The best technique would achieve optimal anatomic repair and rapid and efficient mobilization as well as lead to fewer complications. 6 Postoperative complications related to DBBT repair, such as heterotopic ossification, nerve injury, and tendon rerupture, occur in 15% to 40% of patients.…”
