Clinical evaluation, including physical examination and functional outcomes’ assessment, was performed at 1, 3 and 12 months postoperatively. A postoperative antero-posterior and lateral radiograph of the elbow was routinely performed 1 months after surgery. At the last FU clinical evaluation, DASH and MAYO questionnaires were registered and flexion/extension and prono-supination ROM was assessed by standard goniometer by a surgeon of the Shoulder and Elbow Surgery Unit. All surgical complications, such as nerve damage, infection, soft tissue damage, heterotopic ossification, rerupture of the distal biceps tendon, and radioulnar synostosis, were recorded. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS statistics software version 25.0 for MACINTOSH (IBM, Armonk, NY). The normal distribution was tested with the Kolmogorov–Smirnov’s (KS) test. Descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, etc.) were used to describe the patients’ variables and clinical outcomes. Categorical variables, such as Mayo score, complications and recovery of ROM, were assessed using the Chi-square test or Fisher exact test for statistical significance. T student test was used to evaluate the impact of the surgical techniques on Dash Score. P-values < 0.05 were considered statistically significant.
