Biceps Rupture at the Elbow

This specific injury commonly occurs when the elbow undergoes a sudden and forceful straightening while the biceps muscle is contracting simultaneously. It is often accompanied by immediate forearm pain and weakness. Surgical intervention is typically required for repair.

Following the surgery, rehabilitation plays a crucial role in restoring range of motion, strength, and overall functionality of the affected area. Post-surgical rehabilitation can aid in the recovery process and facilitate the return to normal activities.
