I had this surgery a week ago…. I’m still blown away by how clever these people are to develop and perform these procedures. Pain on the night was pretty bad, settled down after about 48 hours - the procedure itself was actually quite relaxing on the day…. I managed to get some much needed sleep! Psychologically, I am scared of the thought of trying to train again. The feeling of it happening at the time made me feel sick. I have a huge mental barrier now. I know it’s early days, but that’s where I’m at now.
Will the tendon attach to the screw too? I mean that the tendon should develop tissue to attach to the bone but in this case the screw is a prevalent part of the tendon area where to reattach to the bone and I am wondering how he can attach safely
Thanks for your post. I just tore mine a week ago. I thought you had a good question and wondered if you ever got an answer to this? Also, how is your rehab/recovery going now?
Very good thanks. I tore my bicept tendon 10 years ago and despite what doctor was saying after the surgery, my tendon now is stronger than the not torn one. It is the same of broken bone. They come out stronger
@@Cbat1 Hey! From my understanding, it all fuses together, but I’m not sure about what precisely is used to anchor the tendon and how that interacts. I’m assuming it does and that as time goes by the tendon fuses together with the bone. I’ll tell you this: I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to get back to full strength within a year after reading all the stuff others say/comment/post. About 4 months after surgery I started lifting again regularly. I went light, did a few sessions of PT, continued to perform new versions of curls and such to strengthen it. I actually hit a PR on bench press about a month ago - and that was probably ten months post surgery. I say all that to say that you don’t have to worry about whether you can practically get back to full strength. If you take it slow, research a little, follow sound advice, and listen to your body - when it hurts, stop; but keep pushing, not by being a macho buffoon but by being consistent and patient; do that and you’ll get back to where you were and maybe even better.
Although I had a bicep tender repair, I continued to have somewhat of a Popeye effect bicep, which appears shorter at the connecting area towards the inner elbow area then my other arm. What could be the cause of reason for this?

@@t2dwarrior209 I'm 5 months post surgery I still have numbness on inner arm, thumb, and index finger. 1/4 of my palm is still numb. The doctor is recommending carpal tunnel surgery or a cortizone shot in my wrist now.
@@adminadmin9997 that sucks. My numbness is just in thumb and forearm. Motor function is just fine though. I wish the swelling would go down though. Starting to get annoying being swelled all the time.
Absolutely, positively worth the risk. It's not like the surgeon can't see the nerve and can't avoid it. They do just that thousands and thousands of times per year. My biceps reattachment surgery was done so well that just three months later I completed a prescheduled, grueling certification program as a Russian Kettlebell Coach (RKC). And I didn't have to miss any work. I was able to start rehab just 30 days after surgery and full recovery was rapid. It's been over a decade and other than some bouts of occasional numbness in that forearm/hand at night this past year or so, I've been 100%. That biceps is just as strong as the other one. Totally worth it.
I got this exact surgery over two years ago. I had no complications or temporary nerve damage whatsoever. However, I’m still mentally apprehensive to lift anything heavy with the arm. Do you know if the surgery is as strong as an uninjured biceps tendon? I can’t seem to find any info on this. I did all the physical therapy and was cleared for regular activity, but I can’t seem to shake the feeling that it will be weaker/prone to re tearing
I hate it when people overstate a surgical risk because of their own fear. I received the Endobutton technique myself and it was totally worth it. Only difference was my surgeon did not want to use the screw. That screw would introduce new complications and I'm happy that he didn't use it.

Had this surgery two days ago. Can’t wait to get back to full strength in the coming months. Post op pain has been very manageable.
How are you? I’ve got a family member having this surgery week. How many days between your injury and your surgery?
Do you guys know if there is any difference between botton technique and arthrex technique?
What happens when lateral brachial cutaneous nerve is cut into?? How long is healing surgery was 10/27/2020
Just had mine repaired. Should the top of the forearm hurt Ike it been brokr?
Thanks for your post. Good question. Did you ever get an answer anywhere? How is your recovery going now?
@Cbat1 yes I did and I'm about 85%
Anyone experienced the suture issue cheese wiring?

Just tore it a few days ago loading the Uhaul. At age 62 I should have known better.
Does the bone grow into the tendon and devices placed into the bone?
Good question, did you ever get an answer anywhere else? I just tore mine a week ago and now waiting for surgery. Best wishes.

@@Cbat1how are you now?
Although I had a bicep tender repair, I continued to have somewhat of a Popeye effect bicep, which appears shorter at the connecting area towards the inner elbow area then my other arm. What could be the cause of reason for this?
Can you still repair it after 6 months?
Yes, but it’s more complicated and it usually requires using a tendon graft either from your own body or from a cadaver.

I had this procedure done 3 years ago and everything turned out legit. I can deadlift 535lbs with no issues, so yeah, it works. lol.
Could the detached biceps long head be reattached with the bone spontaneously without surgery under any circumstances ??
No
Only if the tear is partial and not fully detached
Why should a tendon be inserted into a drilled bone hole, When the natural sitting is attached to a bone ?
because theres no way to safely attach the tendon back 'on' the bone, so surgeons attach it into the bone.
I had this surgery and I'm 1 week out and my median nerve was effected. I can't feel my thumb, index, middle, ring finger and palm.
@Cody single.... doctor is going to do a 2nd surgery to fix the compressed nerve.
@Cody how are u now? I’m on my second week and I see the doc today since the surgery.. I hope I can return to working out sometime soon
I had this surgery as well less than 2wk ago and I can't feel my thumb or inner forearm. Inner forearm is also still swelled.

I just had mine repaired
How is your Repair now? I just tore mine a week ago. Waiting on surgery now thanks.
@Cbat1 Great!!! Just working on getting my the strength back.
The repair looks super tight he lost like 2 inches of tendon
I was told the button method is strong and a quicker recovery, but at greater risk to nerve damage. Not worth the risk

It is strong, but you should do some physical activity or exercise focused on strengthening the tendons.
@@seanwilliams480 Thanks for the reassurance, going to have it done in 2 days!😬

Bruh. Sounds like it will never be the same. If you ripped your bicep and dobt have this surgery your arm is just done for life I guess
Your right.
Sorry I watched it. ....
