Tendon tear

[adkmuscle]

Anyone out there suffer a partial tricep tendon tear?my issue is it went untreated for 7weeks,started to form scar tissue in that time frame.muscles have weakened and atrophy is obvious.Strength is about 30 percent pre injury no signs of improving after 5week rest.surgeon says only way to get near pre injury is to remove scar tissue and calcium,then detach tendon and reattach.has anyone out here had similar done?

I partially tore my tricep from the elbow. It was tendon torn from elbow. Typically if surgically tended before 7 weeks, its a repair. After that time period, its a reconstruction requiring a graft from the hamstring. It gets a bit more iffy when the tendon is torn from the muscle, as opposed to a tendon from bone.

Most of what you are asking has a lot to do with the quality of the tissue the surgeon finds at the site.

Tricep tears are very rare....looks like we both drew the lucky straw.
