Unfortunately, no matter what therapies you attempt, if a tear has occurred near the elbow, the biceps tendon will not grow back to the bone and repair itself. Although some movement may be feasible owing to the function of the other muscles in the arm, the arm's full capacity and power will be unavailable. In fact, over time these injuries can lead to severe arthritis of the joint. As such, it is important to seek medical attention if you have been injured in this way so that appropriate treatment can be provided.
