What Are Biceps Tendon Injuries
Types of Biceps Tendon Injuries
There are two primary forms of biceps tendon injuries: inflammation, known as tendinitis, and tears
Tendinitis
- typically arises from repetitive actions or excessive strain on the long head of the biceps tendon. Activities like swimming, throwing a baseball, or engaging in manual labor that involves repeated arm motions can lead to irritation and inflammation of the tendon, resulting in tendinitis.
Tears
- may occur either at the elbow or shoulder and are often the result of sudden trauma. Tears near the elbow commonly happen when lifting a heavy object with a stiff, straight elbow, or when unexpectedly lifting something heavier than anticipated. Tears at the shoulder can also stem from attempting to lift excessively heavy objects or from landing on an outstretched hand while trying to break a fall.
Additionally, biceps tendon tears can develop due to gradual wear and tear. Continuous arm usage can weaken the tendon over time, causing it to stretch and eventually tear.
Causes Of Biceps Tendon Injury
Biceps tendon injuries can be caused by various factors, including overuse, trauma, and age-related degeneration.
- Overuse injuries often occur in individuals who engage in repetitive overhead activities, such as weightlifting or throwing sports.
- Traumatic injuries may result from sudden force or impact to the shoulder or elbow joint.
- Age-related degeneration is common in older adults and can weaken the tendon over time, making it more susceptible to injury.
What are the risk factors for a biceps tendon injury?
Risk factors for biceps tendon injuries include.
- age, particularly as tendons naturally weaken over time.
- Men are more prone to elbow tears compared to women.
- Engaging in repetitive movements, whether through work or sports, can also elevate risk.
- Lifting heavy objects without proper elbow bending and using corticosteroid medications are associated with increased susceptibility.
To reduce the likelihood of such injuries, it’s advisable to employ correct body mechanics when lifting heavy loads, warm up before activities stressing the biceps, strengthen arm and upper back muscles through targeted exercises, and promptly rest the arm if any discomfort arises.
Treatment Options for Biceps Tendon Injury
The treatment approach for biceps tendon injury depends on the severity of the injury and the individual’s symptoms and functional goals.
In mild cases, conservative measures such as rest, ice, anti-inflammatory medications, and physical therapy may be sufficient to relieve pain and restore function.
However, in cases of severe or complete tears, surgical intervention may be necessary to repair or reconstruct the damaged tendon.
