Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the quality and accuracy of online information about shoulder arthritis, analyzing the top 50 websites from three major search engines.
- Most websites were from commercial and physician sources, with commercial sites having the highest error rates and non-profit sites scoring the best on quality metrics.
- Overall, the research found that online patient information on shoulder arthritis varies widely in accuracy and quality, suggesting that healthcare professionals should guide patients to more reliable resources.

J Shoulder Elbow Surg
June 2014
Background: Distal biceps tendon rupture is a common injury, and primary repair results in excellent return of function and strength. Complications resulting from distal biceps tendon repairs are well reported, but the incidence of re-ruptures has never been investigated.
Methods: A search of the Mayo Clinic's Medical/Surgical Index was performed, and all distal biceps tendon repairs from January 1981 through May 2009 were identified.
