NCT ID NCT06602414
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
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.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that non-surgical treatment is a viable option for some patients with distal biceps tendon ruptures.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed observational study with only 30 participants. Results may not apply to all patients, and conservative treatment may not restore full strength or function.
