What is the normal recovery time for biceps tenodesis surgery?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends: Thae answer depends on the method for fixing the biceps tendon. Usually, there are some sort of limitations for the first 6 weeks, although your surgeon will be able to be more specific depending on the details of your procedure.

Varies: Recover time will vary depending on many factors including age, general health of the patient, infection control, blood sugar control, the exact type of procedure, and post-operative and follow up care. Discuss it with your surgeon and get their opinion as to what they feel is a reasonable recovery time for you.
