Bicep Tenodesis in Islamabad– Rebuild Your Strength

Bicep tendons are a strong structure in the bicep that connects the upper arm to the shoulders. These muscles are responsible for arm and shoulder movement. Repetitive movements and any incident, like a fall or injury, can cause these tendons to tear. The damaged tendons then impact the mobility, shoulder rotation, or weaken the muscles in the upper arm and shoulder, making them stiff and sore.

Bicep tenodesis is a surgical procedure that is designed to treat the tears in the tendons of the shoulder and SLAP tears. It works by detaching the impaired tendon from your labrum and reattaching it to the upper arm bone, removing the damaged part.

Causes of Bicep Tears:

  • Lifting heavy objects
  • Tears in the shoulder cartilage
  • Falling on an outstretched arm
  • Forcefully twisting the elbow
  • Repetitive motion

Types of Bicep Tear:

Partial tears:

  • This is the type of injury that affects a part of the tendon but does not completely detach it from the bone.

Proximal tears:

  • It occurs at the shoulder joint, often associated with rotator cuff injury or degenerative changes.

   Complete tears:

  • In this tear, the bicep tendon is completely detached from the bone, either from the shoulder or the elbow.

 Distal tears:

  • This can happen at the elbow, where the tendon is partially or completely detached from the bone.

After that, you may be advised to continue minor movements under the supervision of a physiotherapist. You will return to normal activities 6 months post-surgery once you feel the strength in your bicep. The recuperation period is time taking but you should properly manage and maintain the treated area.
