Early operative repair is the currently accepted treatment of distal biceps rupture. However, we describe 6 patients (with 7 ruptures), 5 of whom are in the armed forces with distal biceps tendon ruptures who, as a result of delays in presentation, were treated non-operatively. The subsequent clinical success of these patients (with three excellent, three good and one poor result), has led us to question whether the role of non-operative treatment has been underestimated within the orthopaedic, military and sports medicine literature. The more rapid rehabilitation of conservatively treated ruptures may well have implications for treatment of armed forces personnel.
