The mean age of patients was 44.9 years, and 99.2% of patients were male. The mean follow-up time was 31.5 months. Ruptures were acute in 87.6% of cases, the dominant arm was injured in 64.9%, and the cause of the injury was sport related in 43.5%. The overall RTS rate was 91.5%, with 85.2% of patients returning to preinjury levels or higher, at a mean time of 6.3 months. Patients had excellent functional outcomes, irrespective of the incision approach or fixation method, although trends associated with a higher RTS rate were observed with bone tunnel fixation, \u22642 weeks of postoperative immobilization, early initiation of active range of motion postoperatively, and initiation of strengthening at \u226410 weeks. Single-incision repair had higher rates of nerve-related complications and reruptures compared with double-incision repair, and cortical button fixation had a higher rate of nerve-related complications among the fixation methods.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>There was a high rate of RTS after DBT repair at 6 months postoperatively.
