Biceps tendon tears can be either partial or complete. Partial tears. These tears damage the soft tissue but do not completely sever the tendon. Complete tears. A complete tear will detach the tendon completely from its attachment point at the bone.
Short description: Biceps tendon rupture. ICD-9-CM 727.62 is a billable medical code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis on a reimbursement claim, however, 727.62 should only be used for claims with a date of service on or before September 30, 2015.
If the tear is a complete tear in the proximal tendon (near the shoulder), the bicep muscle may roll down and form a muscular ball, known as a “Popeye sign" (image). Symptoms of a full biceps tendon tear include sharp, sudden pain in the upper arm, and in some cases, an audible pop or snap.
A distal biceps rupture occurs when the tendon attaching the biceps muscle to the elbow is torn from the bone. This injury occurs mainly in middle-aged men during heavy work or lifting. A distal biceps rupture is rare compared to ruptures where the top of the biceps connects at the shoulder.
The biceps is attached to the arm bones by tough connective tissues called tendons. The tendons that connect the biceps muscle to the shoulder joint in two places are called the proximal biceps tendons. The tendon that attaches the biceps muscle to the forearm bones (radius and ulna) is called the distal biceps tendon.
A fifth muscle, the long head of biceps, while not technically part of the rotator cuff, also plays a major role. Muscles attach to bones via a tendon; the rotator cuff tendons all attach at the front shoulder on the upper arm bone called the humerus.
The biceps tendon is a strong supinator of the forearm and serves as a weak elbow flexor.
If an elbow biceps tendon tear is partial and causes ongoing symptoms, it may be treated surgically by removing the affected tissue and reattaching the tendon to the bone using stitches or special screws. A similar technique can be used when a shoulder biceps tendon needs to be reattached.
Will a bicep tendon heal itself? Once a bicep is torn, it unfortunately will not reattach itself to the bone and heal on its own.
Recovery from bicep tear or strain Mild injuries take ten weeks or more, while more severe injuries that require surgery can take months to fully recover function.
Along with sharp pain, you might hear or feel a tearing sensation. an audible popping or snapping sound. Many people report hearing and feeling something like “snapping” or “popping.”
TreatmentRest: Avoiding strenuous activities may allow the tendon time to heal. ... Ice: Applying ice packs to the area for 20 minutes at a time may help reduce swelling. ... Medications: Some medications, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, may help reduce pain and inflammation.More items...•
