Background: Distal biceps rupture is a relatively uncommon injury that can significantly affect quality of life. Early complications following biceps tendon repair are not well described in the literature. This study utilizes a national surgical database to determine the incidence of and predictors for short-term complications following distal biceps tendon repair.
Methods: The American College of Surgeons’ National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database was used to identify patients undergoing distal biceps repair between January 1, 2011, and December 31, 2017. Patient demographic variables of sex, age, body mass index, American Society of Anesthesiologists class, functional status, and several comorbidities were collected for each patient, along with 30-day postoperative complications. Binary logistic regression was used to calculate risk ratios for these complications using patient predictor variables.
Results: Early postoperative surgical complications (0.5%)?which were mostly infections (0.4%)?and medical complications (0.3%) were rare. A readmission risk factor was diabetes (risk ratio [RR], 4.238; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.180?15.218). Non-home discharge risk factors were smoking (RR, 3.006; 95% CI, 1.123?8.044) and ≥60 years of age (RR, 4.150; 95% CI, 1.611? 10.686). Maleness was protective for medical complications (RR, 0.024; 95% CI, 0.005?0.126). Surgical complication risk factors were obese class II (RR, 4.120; 95% CI, 1.123?15.120), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD; RR, 21.981; 95% CI, 3.719?129.924), and inpatient surgery (RR, 8.606; 95% CI, 2.266?32.689).
Conclusions: Complication rates after distal biceps repair are low. Various patient demographics, medical comorbidities, and surgical factors were all predictive of short-term complications.
