The one which the performing surgeon is most familiar with. The strength and recovery should be the same for either. The incidence of posterior interoseous nerve injury is higher with two incision. Most cases of median nerve injry have occured with attempts at small anterior one or two incision methods. The incidence of transient lateral antebrachial nerve sensory deficit is higher with one incision.
What is the best treatment for a ruptured distal tendon? My partner works at the airport and does alot of lifting of baggage and driving vehicles.If it is surgery, do they use an arthroscope or cut open the elbow?How long for recovery and time of work? Thanks very much.Julie
