Torn ligament at elbow
A torn ligament at the elbow rarely occurs as an independent injury. The torn ligament occurs when an excessive force is applied to the elbow joint in different directions due to external force. In most cases such an injury causes damage to other structures in the elbow joint, so that extensive therapy is necessary.
The first aid measure also includes the PECH rule (rest, ice, pressure = compression, elevation). If there is no bone damage or other complications, a torn ligament at the elbow can be treated well with conservative therapy measures. In order to avoid further consequential damage such as arthrosis of the elbow as a late consequence, it is important to adhere to the treatment plan of the therapists and to train regularly on your own initiative.
Summary
Overall, inflammation of the biceps tendon is a disease that is somewhat more difficult to treat. This is due to the fact that the location and complexity of the surrounding structures make it impossible to take good care of it and, unfortunately, incorrect loading is common. The aim of therapy for biceps tendon inflammation is to strengthen the shoulder joint to such an extent that the pressure is taken off the tendon and thus relieves it. As a rule, surgery is not necessary for biceps tendon inflammation, since good results can be achieved with conservative therapeutic measures.
