A member asked:

Mri read full-thickness biceps tendonitis tear. is this term means a major tear? no discoloration, swelling or harsh pain associated.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Full thickness tears are completely thorough the tendon. I would suspect additional injury. This should be repaired surgically. See an orthopedist
