Biceps Tendon Rupture
Biceps Tendon Rupture
You may experience initial pain after a biceps injury, but you may still be able to move your elbow. However, it is important to seek medical attention because a ruptured biceps tendon is a serious injury. The biceps tendon is under some stretch when attached and after it ruptures, it recoils up the arm, creating a gap between the torn tendon and the bone where it is supposed to be attached. Without proper treatment, the tendon will not heal on its own, leading to long-term complications.

Treatment
The best way to handle a ruptured biceps tendon is through surgical repair. Our outpatient surgery involves reattaching the tendon back to the proper point of attachment on the bone using a minimally invasive approach. Most patients recover quickly and regain all their motion and strength within a couple of months after surgery. With a successful recovery, you can return to sports, exercise, and demanding physical labor.
