A ruptured biceps is a serious arm injury. The action of your shoulder and elbow is controlled by your biceps muscles, which are positioned in your upper arms. Damage to the tendon that joins your biceps to your bones might cause it to rupture, causing agony.
Cause:
The most common cause of a biceps rupture is when a person tries to catch a large object without being prepared. The biceps muscle contracts to receive the object's force, and the elbow straightens as a result of the collision, causing the tendon to rupture.
The majority of tears happen when your tendons have previously been compromised by a condition like tendonosis. You may be more prone to a biceps rupture if you smoke or aren't physically active.
Treatments:
If you have a partial tear, your doctor may recommend:
You'll require surgery to repair your tendon if it's fully detached from your shoulder or elbow. The specifics of your operation will be determined by your injuries, but technology breakthroughs have made minimally invasive surgery possible, which means you may be able to avoid a significant incision or scar. To regain your prior mobility, you'll need to undergo physical therapy, which normally takes only a few months.
