Distal biceps tendon tears in women.

Hypothesis: Is the presentation and outcome of surgical treatment of distal biceps tendon tears different in women than men?

Materials And Methods: From 1999 to 2008, 15 cases of distal biceps tendon tears in 13 female patients were treated surgically at a single institution. Mean age was 63 years (range, 48-79 years). A retrospective review evaluated patient presentation, diagnosis, and treatment.
