A member asked:
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

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!

2 months ago felt pop/pain in elbow. Pain persists (flexion/supination). Believe distal biceps tendon to be partial torn. Hook test presents pain, no full rupture, tendon feels thinner compared to left arm. Surgical/nonsurgical options at this point?
