Question 2

what are the symptoms of having a left knee tendon rupture? my kneecap shifted now i have a hard time walking? please explain?

Accepted Answer

: The ACL is the most common injured ligament but its injury should not affect the knee cap (patella). A loud pop or a "popping" sensation in the knee might be heard with the injury then pain, swollen knee, limited joint motion &amp; knee instability in weight bearing are the common symptoms and signs of ACL injury. Patella dislocation is strongly suspected in your case, you should see an orthopedist.

Question 3

could i have torn my rotator cuff at the same time as a distal bicep tendon rupture? i had surgery for the rupture, now need mri for the shoulder

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: A ruptured biceps tendon@ the elbow is usually known... Eccentric contraction of the muscle w/ a feeling of a ' pop' or tear is commonplace. Rotator cuff tears occurring @ the same time is conceivable but very unlikely. More likely you had a rct already and was 'picked up' by your ors @ exam/mri. The "long head" of the biceps in the shoulder can tear in chronic rot.Cuff tears . Gl!

Protection: There are two tendons if one ruptures then you will have a weakness in that arm from now on.

Gradually and slowly strengthing the remaining tendon with low weight exercises may help prevent its rupture in the future.  Always avoid lifting very heavy objects to prevent rupture.

can you educate me about tendon rupture?

Accepted Answer

Direct trauma: Tendon injuries are very catastrophic.  Usually occurs when the foot is in a fixed plantargrade position and the tibia (shinbone) externally rotates rapidly, and the foot does not release from its flexed state.
Injuries for tendon ruptures also take the longest to resolve, which can be from 8-20 weeks, depending on the amount and time of damage to the tendon.
