Arm Biceps Tendon Tear
Arm Supports
Menu
A bicep tendon can rip or tear when you twist your arm in an awkward position or when you fall and land on your arm. These situations put extra strain on the tendon, increasing the chances of damage or tears. Bicep tendon tears can occur in both the shoulder and the elbow because they are connected on both sides.
When the bicep tendons are overworked or pulled due to repetitive motions, they are at risk to get torn, and you might lose arm strength and experience arm discomfort. The main symptom is sudden acute pain in the upper part of your arm or near the elbow. Bruising occurs near the elbow or shoulder.

People who have a torn tendon can sometimes continue normal activities. The biceps muscle takes nearly 3 to 4 months to recover. If you rest and don’t use your injured arm, you should be able to do daily tasks after 2 to 3 weeks. However, if there is no improvement after a few weeks of home remedies, go to your doctor or orthopedic surgeon.
They will examine your arm after taking a thorough medical history, observe any abnormalities or symptoms of bruising, and check if there is a gap in your elbow and shoulder. An MRI scan may be required to determine whether the tear is partial or complete. Biceps tendon tears are treated with both non-surgical and surgical procedures depending on the severity of the injury.

Can a torn bicep tendon heal on its own?
Unfortunately, once a bicep is torn, it will not be possible to rejoin the bone and mend on its own. However, whether it was a partial or complete tear, you have several treatment options like physiotherapy and wearing braces and supports that can help with the healing process.
Can I move my arm with a torn bicep?
When your bicep tendon near the elbow is torn, your other arm muscles adjust, allowing you to maintain complete joint mobility. If the tendon is not healed, your arm will most certainly lose control and strength.

When does a torn bicep recover completely?
