What Is Biceps Tendonitis?

Biceps tendonitis is a condition in which the long head of the biceps tendon, which attaches the biceps muscle to the shoulder, becomes damaged or inflamed. This can cause a range of symptoms, including:

• Pain or discomfort in the front of the shoulder or upper arm 
• Weakness in the affected arm 
• Cracking or popping sounds when moving the arm 
• Limited range of motion in the affected arm 

If left untreated, biceps tendonitis can lead to further damage to the shoulder joint and the development of additional conditions like rotator cuff tears or osteoarthritis.

What Causes Biceps Tendonitis?

Biceps tenodesis can be caused by a range of factors, including overuse, injury, or age-related wear and tear. Some common causes of biceps tenodesis include:

• Repetitive overhead motions, such as those performed by athletes or manual laborers 
• Sudden injury, such as a fall or collision 
• Degenerative changes in the shoulder joint due to aging 

What Are the Benefits of the Procedure?

Biceps tenodesis surgery can provide a range of benefits to patients suffering from the condition, including:

• Relief from chronic pain in the shoulder or upper arm 
• Improved strength and range of motion in the affected arm 
• Reduced risk of further damage or degenerative changes in the shoulder joint 
• Improved quality of life and ability to perform daily activities 

How Long Does It Take To Recover from Biceps Tenodesis Surgery?

Recovery time from biceps tenodesis surgery can vary depending on a range of factors, including the patient’s age, overall health, and the extent of the surgery. In general, most patients can expect to return to normal activities within 6 to 8 weeks following the procedure.

During recovery, patients will work with their healthcare team to manage pain and discomfort, perform physical therapy exercises to improve their range of motion and strength, and gradually increase activity levels.
