Summary

This is an interventional, single-center study with clinical and radiographic evaluation, at follow-up of at least 2 years, of patients treated surgically with arthroscopy-assisted distal biceps tendon repair at the Rizzoli Orthopaedic Institute. The study consists of 2 phases (Identification of includable patients, Follow-up visit:

* identification by trained medical staff of subjects who meet the study inclusion criteria
* Patients, after signing informed consent, will be evaluated clinically and radiographically by radiography in lateral and anteroposterior projection at the follow-up visit by specialized medical personnel. A clinical examination will be performed, with subjective and objective evaluation questionnaires administered, and a strength assessment of the operated limb and contralateral limb will be performed using specific dynamometers on the same date as the radiography is performed at the Rizzoli Orthopedic Institute. The radiographic study with standard projections (AP and LL) is used to evaluate any signs of anchor loosening and/or presence of heterotopic ossifications (which can limit movement and represent one of the main complications).

Study-specific radiographs will be performed on the same day as the outpatient clinical evaluation in consultation with the Radiology Service Manager.
