Podium Presentation Title: Acute vs. Chronic Repair for Distal Biceps Tendon Ruptures: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Early repair of distal biceps ruptures is recommended to avoid a more extensive surgical approach or need for reconstruction. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to compare function, patient reported outcomes (PROs) and complications of acute and chronic distal biceps tendon ruptures (DBTR). We hypothesized that treatment of acute ruptures would be associated with superior outcomes as compared to chronic ruptures.
