1 Department of Rehabilitation Services Physical Therapy Distal Bicep Tendon Repair- Rehabilitation Protocol The intent of this protocol is to provide the clinician with a guideline of the postoperative rehabilitation course for a patient that has undergone a distal biceps tendon repair. It is by no means intended to be a substitute for one s clinical decision making regarding the progression of a patient s post-operative course based on their physical exam/findings, individual progress, and/or the presence of post-operative complications. If a clinician requires assistance in the progression of a post-operative patient they should consult with the referring Surgeon. Initial Post operative Immobilization Posterior splint, elbow immobilization at 90 for 5-7 days with forearm in neutral (Unless otherwise indicated by surgeon) Hinged Elbow Brace Elbow placed in a hinged ROM brace at 5-7 days postoperative. Brace set unlocked at 45 to full flexion. Gradually increase elbow ROM in brace (see below) Hinged Brace Range of Motion Progression (ROM progression may be adjusted base on Surgeon s assessment of the surgical repair.) Week 2 Week 3 Week 4 Week 5 Week 6 Week 8 45 to full elbow flexion 45 to full elbow flexion 30 to full elbow flexion 20 to full elbow flexion 10 to full elbow flexion Full ROM of elbow; discontinue brace if adequate motor control Range of Motion Exercises (to above brace specifications) Weeks 2-3 Passive ROM for elbow flexion and supination (with elbow at 90 ) Assisted ROM for elbow extension and pronation (with elbow at 90 ) Shoulder ROM as needed based on evaluation, avoiding excessive extension.

9 BRIGHAM AND WOMEN S HOSPITAL A Teaching Affiliate of Harvard Medical School 75 Francis St. Boston, Massachusetts Department of Rehabilitation Services Physical Therapy PRIMARY EXTENSOR TENDON REPAIR PROTOCOL (EDC, EIP, EDQ, EPL, ECRL, ECRB, ECU) The intent of this protocol is to provide the clinician with a guideline for the postoperative rehabilitation course of a patient that has undergone an extensor tendon repair. It is by no means intended to be a substitute for one s clinical decision-making regarding the progression of a patient s post-operative course based on their exam findings, individual progress, and/or presence of post-operative complications. If a clinician requires assistance in the progression of a post-operative patient, they should consult with the referring surgeon. ZONE I: Over the distal phalangeal joint (DIP)-Mallet deformity ZONE II: Over the middle phalanx WEEK SPLINT THER EX PRECAUTIONS OTHER 1-6 DIP at 0-15 hyperextension (HE). Splint worn continuously. 6-8 weeks Provide 2 splints, 1 for showering. Remove splint for exercise, otherwise splint is worn continuously. >8 weeks Gradually wean from splint during day.continue splint at night D/C splint weeks A-AAROM of MP and PIP. AROM of DIP flex/ext, 10 reps hourly. Start at 10 degrees flexion, progress in degree increments per week, if no extensor lag develops. Can introduce AAROM as needed. PROM/PREs Daily skin checks while maintaining DIP in HE No active DIP motion. If extensor lag develops > 10 degrees, resume continuous splinting (no ROM) for 1-2 weeks and reassess.

If swan-neck deformity develops, splint PIP at flexion via dorsal block splint. Casting is an option, and may have better outcomes via constant circumferential positioning. Prehension and coordination exercise should supplement ROM program. 1
10 ZONE III: Over the proximal interphalangeal joint (PIP)-Boutonniere deformity ZONE IV: Over the proximal phalanx * IMMOBILIZATION PROTOCOL WEEK SPLINT THER EX PRECAUTIONS OTHER 1-6 weeks Volar digit static splint, PIP at absolute 0 degrees, or serial cast Lateral bands Repaired: include DIP at 0 degrees. If the lateral bands are not repaired the DIP is left free. 6-8 weeks Gradually wean from splint during day. ROM may be initiated anytime during week 3 to 6, depending upon healing. Initiate AROM PIP flex to 30 degrees. If no extensor lag develops, progress in degree increments each week. 10 repetitions hourly. If lateral bands are repaired, begin gliding at week 3, and at week 1 if lateral bands not injured. AAROM or dynamic flexion splinting may be initiated, as well as combined flexion of the wrist and No forceful flexion. No gripping. Splint remains on continuously between ROM sessions. Continue splint at night. digits weeks D/C splint PROM/PREs * Because of the broad tendon-bone interface in zone IV and resultant scar adhesions, you may want to consider the short arc motion protocol. See next page. ** Light functional activities are manipulating activities no greater than 1-3 lbs. (i.e. turning pages, eating, folding light laundry, tying a shoe, buttoning, typing) Serial cast may be chosen if there is a PIP joint flexion contracture, if there is a closed injury, or if the patient is unable to adhere to splinting program. Timing of initiating AROM is determined based on severity of laceration, strength of repair, and patient profile. Light function out of splint. ** PRIMARY EXTENSOR TENDON REPAIR PROTOCOL (EDC, EIP, EDQ, EPL, ECRL, ECRB, ECU) Copyright 2007 The Brigham and Women's Hospital, Inc.

11 ZONE III IV: Over the PIP joint to proximal phalanx SHORT ARC MOTION (SAM) PROTOCOL WEEK SPLINT THER EX PRECAUTIONS OTHER Week 1 Digit volar immobilization splint: PIP and DIP at 0 degrees. Splint worn at all times except during exercise. Remove immobilization splint hourly for reps of AROM PIP and DIP motion in both template 1 & 2 splints. Week 2 Week 3 Week 4 Two volar static exercise splints: template 1 PIP 30 flex, DIP 20 flex template 2 PIP 0, DIP free If no extensor lag: Progress template 1 to PIP 40-50, DIP If no extensor lag: Progress template 1 to PIP 50-60, DIP If no extensor lag: Progress template 1 to PIP 70-80, DIP Wrist is held in 30 flexion, MP at 0. If lateral bands are repaired, limit DIP flexion to in template 2. If not injured, fully flex and extend DIP. If an extensor lag develops, flexion increments should be more modest and exercise should focus on extension. Week 5 Begin splint weaning. Composite flexion and gentle PREs. Week 6 D/C splint. Splint at PROM & PREs, night only PRN. reverse putty scraping PIP joint must be positione d at 0 degrees in immobili zation splint to prevent extensor lag. Patient is instructed in technique of controlled motion with minimal active tension. If rupture is suspected, refer patient to MD for assessment. If PIP is stiff, splint intermittently into flexion, but continue static extension splinting into week 5 or 6. Initiate light functional activities out of splint.

Come out of splint for exercise D/C splint. Dynamic flexion splinting PRN. AROM flexion: isolated joint and tendon gliding (hook and straight fist). Passive extension via elastic recoil of the dynamic splint reps hourly. Begin active MP flexion to degrees (via flexion block on dynamic splint). Progress MP flexion as tolerated. Perform wrist and digit PROM in extension and tenodesis out of splint 10 repetitions hourly. Progress MP flexion to (week 4), (week 5). Initiate full fisting if not already done. Composite wrist and finger flexion. Active digital extension exercises out of splint. AAROM, PREs, heat and stretch, reverse putty scraping Full fisting may place too much stress on the repair. Assess on a case-bycase basis. No resistance until 6-8 weeks May consider option of total immobilization if necessary. Volar static digital IP extension splints can be made to facilitate MP excursion by immobilizing IP joint (splint placed in slings). Allows greater pull-through at MP joint. May initiate NMES, therapeutic heating via ultrasound if needed. PRIMARY EXTENSOR TENDON REPAIR PROTOCOL (EDC, EIP, EDQ, EPL, ECRL, ECRB, ECU) Copyright 2007 The Brigham and Women's Hospital, Inc.
