The biceps tendon plays a vital role in the activity of the shoulder and the arm. It is the tendon that attaches the biceps muscle to the bones in the shoulder and the elbow enabling the arm to rotate and the elbow to bend, and as a result of the constant overuse of the arm and the biceps muscle, the biceps tendon in the shoulder may deteriorate and eventually tear over time.
Other shoulder conditions, such as shoulder impingement and rotator cuff tears can additionally weaken or tear the biceps tendon. However, the two leading causes for biceps tendon tear are a sudden, severe injury to the shoulder and repetitive motions that outstretch the arm. Depending on the severity of the tear, there are various available treatments for the biceps tendon repair.
