What is a biceps tendon tear?
The biceps tendon connects the biceps muscle to the shoulder and the elbow and allows you to bend your elbow, rotate your forearm, stabilize the shoulder and accelerate the arm during overhead motions. This tendon can easily be damaged as a result of injury, overuse or age, which may cause the tendon to become inflamed or to tear in more severe cases. These injuries may cause severe pain, bruising and weakness in the arm. The biceps tendon can be injured at the shoulder or elbow end.
