Can a torn elbow tendon heal without surgery? study investigates
NCT ID NCT06602414
Summary
This study looked at whether people with a complete tear of their biceps tendon near the elbow could recover well without surgery. Researchers followed 30 adults for at least one year after their injury, treating them with rest, bracing, and physical therapy instead of an operation. They measured elbow function, arm strength, and daily activity ability to see if this conservative approach is a valid treatment option.
