Biceps Tendon Rupture occurs when an injury causes the tendon in the bicep to detach and separate from the bone. As a result, the muscle is unable to move the bone causing arm movements to become weak and painful.
There are 2 types of Biceps Tendon Rupture. Proximal occurs in the shoulder joint and is the most common. It causes a bulged muscle in the bicep and occurs in men over 60 years of age. Most commonly found in middle aged men, Distal occurs in the elbow joint and is usually the result of sports or lifting weights. The Distal rupture causes the loss of strength in the elbow and the inability to bend or turn the arm against resistance, such as turning a door knob.
Ergonomic and orthopedic products such as braces, splints, and wraps may help relieve symptoms associated with Biceps Tendon Rupture. Please consult with a physician about possible surgery if the injury is serious.
