Biceps Injuries: Surgery or No Surgery?
Update: 2024-01-08
Description
Biceps tendon injuries can be a point of confusion when it comes to the need for surgery. Depending on the location of the injury, such as the proximity to the shoulder or the elbow, surgical intervention may or may not be necessary. This transcript dives into the anatomy of the biceps and explains the different types of injuries that can occur. If the long head of the biceps tendon near the shoulder is torn, surgery is not always required, and conservative treatment can be sufficient for many patients. However, if the distal biceps tendon near the elbow is torn, surgical intervention is often recommended for optimal recovery. The transcript emphasizes the importance of early intervention for a successful outcome, as well as the potential functional and cosmetic consequences of non-operative treatment. Understanding the specifics of the injury and seeking prompt medical attention is crucial in making the right treatment decision.
