Distal biceps tendon ruptures are relatively rare injuries but tend to occur in active and athletic populations, especially in weightlifting and contact sports. The distal biceps tendon is an important supinator of the forearm and flexor of the elbow, thus an injury to this ligament can be invalidating for athletes. The aim of this review was to determine the ability and the time to return to sports following distal biceps tendon repair in athletes and the level of performance. The literature is scarce about the return to sports among athletes. Most studies include athletes are National Football League (NFL) players, others are weightlifters and a few recreational athletes. The return to play rate after distal biceps tendon repair is high. The performances of the returned players were similar to matched players and most players returned to the same level. Most players-depending on the sport-were not able to return to competition within the same season. In order to manage expectations, it should be discussed preoperatively with the athlete (and their coach) that the return to sports rate is high, but the return will probably be the following season.
肱二头肌肌腱远侧端撕裂较为罕见，但多发生于活跃和运动人群，尤其是举重和接触性运动。肱二头肌肌腱是前臂的重要旋后肌和肘部的屈肌，因此该韧带的损伤对运动员来说可能是毁灭性的。本综述旨在确定运动员肱二头肌肌腱远侧端修复后重返运动的能力和时间，以及运动表现水平。关于运动员重返运动的文献很少。大多数研究包括美国国家橄榄球联盟（NFL）运动员，其他则是举重运动员和一些娱乐性运动员。肱二头肌肌腱远侧端修复后重返运动的比率很高。重返赛场的运动员的表现与匹配运动员相似，大多数运动员回到了相同的水平。大多数运动员——取决于运动项目——无法在同一赛季内重返比赛。为了管理预期，应该在术前与运动员（及其教练）讨论，即重返运动的比率很高，但恢复可能在下个赛季。
