简要总结
A clinical evaluation of the results of conservative treatment after distal biceps tendon rupture with a minimum follow up of 1 year.
The results will be evaluated with clinical scores (MEPS, DASH and SF-12) and strenght and fatigue evaluations with dynamometers for both flexion and supination of elbow and forearm. The results of the affected side will be compared with the controlateral side

结局指标
主要结局
Elbow Function
时间窗: At baseline (day 0)
The Mayo Elbow Performance score (MEPS) or Mayo Elbow Performance Index (MEPI) is an instrument used to test the limitations, caused by pathology, of the elbow during activities of daily living (ADL) . This specific test uses 4 subscales: Pain, Range of Motion (arc of motion of the art. humeroulnaris) Stability Daily Function MEPS can be used to measure which treatment work best for different conditions, An example would be when deciding the best post-operative treatment for example: the difference in prognosis between open and closed fractures when operated. This numerical scale express results on a scale from 0 to 100 and considers results with a score higher than 85 as excellent results.
