What Is A Bicep Tendon Rupture?
A Biceps tendon rupture is a situation where the Bicep tendon, for whatever reason, has been torn apart to some degree. ‘Tendon tear’ and ‘tendon rupture’ are used interchangeably. Technically, a Bicep tendon tear is the same thing as a Biceps tendon rupture, though rupture is usually used for BIG tears and Total separation. Additionally, tears are usually ‘clean’ tears, and ruptures -can- look like a ‘shredding’ of a tendon. Kind of like a bone can have a clean break, or it can have a ‘Compacted fracture’, where it’s lots of breaks/fractures/shards. I don’t know how much sense that makes, but what I’m -trying- to say is, a Bicep tendon rupture can be a clean rip, or a totally messed up disintegration of a tendon structure.
