What is a Bicep Tear? A bicep tear is a painful upper arm injury that usually results from putting too much stress on the muscle, as can occur when trying to lift heavy weights. Tears do not typically occur in the bicep muscle itself; rather, they affect the tendons that connect the muscle to the elbow or shoulder joint.

Triceps brachii muscle The triceps brachii muscle (Latin for three-headed muscle of the arm) is the large muscle on the back of the upper limb of many vertebrates. It is the muscle principally responsible for extension of the elbow joint (straightening of the arm).he triceps is an extensor muscle of the elbow joint and an antagonist of the biceps and brachialis muscles. It can also fixate the elbow joint when the forearm and hand are used for fine movements, e.g., when writing.

Picture of the Biceps Proximal biceps tendon rupture: This is when one of the two biceps tendons in the shoulder is torn away from the bone. Sudden shoulder pain and an odd-shaped bulge in the biceps are symptoms. Distal biceps tendon rupture: A tear of the biceps tendon at the forearm is unusual. Sudden pain over the front of the elbow and forearm weakness are symptoms. Proximal biceps tendinitis (tendonitis): Repeated use of the biceps or problems in the shoulder can irritate the proximal biceps tendon.

Slap Tears A frequent cause of pain or instability of the shoulder is a labral tear.

Cuff (Rotator) Tear Arthropathy Cuff tear arthropathy is actually a type of wear and tear, or degenerative arthritis of the shoulder that develops over time after the rotator cuff is damaged. Normally, when the rotator cuff muscles contract, they pull the head of the humerus tightly into the socket of the shoulder.uff tear arthropathy is the result of long standing lack of rotator cuff function. In almost all cases, repair of the rotator cuff tear is no longer an option. Surgery for cuff tear arthropathy is done when pain and decreased motion continue after conservative care.

Biceps tendonitis (or bicipital tendonitis is an inflammation of the tendon that connects the biceps and the shoulder) is the corresponding shoulder injury that commonly requires the procedure. Another indicated condition for a biceps tenodesis is SLAP tear. SLAP tear occurs when there is a detachment of the biceps tendon from the shoulder socket.

The muscle attaches to the forearm bone through a tendon, which acts like a rope at the end of the muscle. A distal biceps tendon rupture is a tear of the tendon from the forearm bone (radius).
