Description
Summary:Our study sought to determine outcomes of patients who underwent non-operative and surgical treatment of distal biceps ruptures utilizing both PROMIS and Patient Acceptable Symptoms State (PASS). This study was a 7-year study performed retrospectively at a single, large academic institution. There were 468 patients included. Treatment method, demographics, PROMIS scores, PASS, and range of motion were noted for each patient for follow-up visits through 12 months. Chi-squared and paired and unpaired t-tests were used for statistical analyses. There were 243 patients in the non-operative group, while 225 patients underwent primary operative repair. The non-operative cohort showed an average change in PROMIS Pain Interference (PI), Upper Extremity (UE), and Physical Function (PF) scores from initial injury to 12-months follow-up were −1.19 (p = 0.13), 5.10 (p
