Anyone every done it? Experience on surgery and recovery?

The story...I was going to pick a box up and lift it up and over. My arm was twisted and as I lifted my elbow hyperextended and I felt a POP. You can see my bicep no longer attached. It doesn't hurt if I don't move. I have an appointment with the orthopedic on Wednesday.

Treated this multiple times. . Listen to your PT. Be patient. 4-6 month recovery.

Elbow?

Ruptured both the left and the right at different times. They use different techniques. They used a cortical button in both of mine.

1-2 weeks of almost no movement.
6 total weeks of recovery - bone has to grow into the tendon.

After 6 weeks, therapy to stretch the tendon back out.

I bought old man stretchy pants. That is the best advice i can give you.

Sorry to hear! Tore my left one in 2019. It wasn't the worst experience ever, and if it happens on my right then I wouldn't be too upset.

My advice, keep working out the healthy side, and do legs. I got a safety squat bar so my legs wouldn't shrink.

I had bicep tendon repair 3 years ago.
Recovery was several months.
You can probably go bowling after a year or two

Having surgery next week to repair a torn distal bicep tendon. For those of you who have had it done, how long till you were driving again?

The next day.
