Even the slightest damage to the biceps tendon can distract the patient from normal activities for a minimum of 2 months, while more severe forms of injury require an even longer recovery period (4-6 months). <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A muscle rupture is defined as a complete or partial tear of muscle fibers or due to strain or rupture of a tendon.
