What are rehab. exercices for a biceps tendon rupture?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Protection: There are two tendons if one ruptures then you will have a weakness in that arm from now on. Surgical replacement of the ruptured tendon is sometimes possible and you should see an orthopedic surgeon for this. 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.

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?
