Table 3

Residual deformity depending on the month of biceps recovery from Al-Qattan’s data [10].

Biceps recovery (months)	n	Complete spontaneous recovery	Mild residual deformity	Significant residual deformity	Poor spontaneous recovery
<2	20	20
At 3	9	6	3
At 4	11		5	6
Not at 5	3				3

The group with poor spontaneous recovery was nerve-surgically treated.
