How long does a distal biceps tendon rupture take to heal?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
5 months: Distal biceps ruptures need to be repaired surgically. If done well, gentle range of motion exercises are begun early, using the arm gently for 3 months. At the 3 months junction normal use without lifting or stress, if everything goes well, normal use and stressat five months.
