Brian Lohrbach, MD

My father recently tore his biceps tendon at the elbow. Can you tell me more about this injury

The biceps muscle is a large, two-headed muscle of the upper arm. It has two shoulder attachments and one elbow attachment. A ruptured biceps at the elbow usually occurs suddenly in 50-60 year old males with heavy lifting. The tear results in a 40% decrease in elbow flexion strength and a 50% decrease in forearm supination strength (turning the forearm clockwise). Surgical reattachment is usually recommended within the first 3 weeks. The elbow is usually immobilized for 4-6 weeks prior to initiating exercises.
