The distal biceps tendon connects the biceps muscle to the elbow bone. Your arm may be in a splint or an elbow brace for 4 to 6 weeks. You may also be in a sling for a week or so. You may feel tired and have some pain for several days. Your arm may be swollen, but the swelling should go down a little each day.
What to know about bicep tendonitis
The typical indications for distal biceps repair include:
The biceps muscle connects to the bone by the biceps tendon, which crossed the front of the elbow. The bicep muscle is responsible for turning the palm up (supination) and helps to bend (flex) the elbow. A distal biceps tendon rupture is a full or partial tear of this tendon.
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.

A biceps rupture usually occurs when a person attempts to catch a heavy object without being prepared for it. When the biceps muscle contracts to receive the force of the object, and the elbow straightens with the impact, the resulting forces cause the tendon to tear.
