|April 1, 1988
Summary
Surgical repair of subcutaneous upper arm tendon ruptures, including the long biceps, distal biceps, and triceps tendons, yielded good functional results. Operative treatment is recommended for these injuries.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Sports Medicine
- Musculoskeletal Research
Context:
- Subcutaneous tendon ruptures of the upper arm are significant injuries.
- Operative treatment was performed on 25 cases between 1982 and 1985.
- Includes ruptures of the long biceps, distal biceps, and triceps tendons.
Purpose:
- To describe operative procedures for upper arm tendon ruptures.
- To evaluate functional outcomes following surgical intervention.
- To compare injury mechanisms and histological findings across different tendons.
Summary:
- Twenty-five subcutaneous tendon ruptures of the upper arm underwent operative treatment.
- Follow-up averaged 14 months post-operation, assessing functional results.
- Good functional outcomes were observed, supporting operative management.
Impact:
- Highlights the efficacy of surgical repair for upper arm tendon ruptures.
- Provides data on operative techniques and functional recovery.
- Recommends operative treatment as a viable option for these injuries.
