First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at how well people recover from a complete tear of the distal biceps tendon without surgery. Researchers followed 30 patients for at least one year, measuring elbow function, strength, and fatigue. The goal is to see if conservative (non-surgical) treatment can be a good option for some patients.
