Surgeon Recomendations for Bicep Tendon Repair

A buddy of mine tore his bicep tendon about a year ago, had surgery, and it tore again while in the cast and he never got surgery on it again.

He wants to get it fixed now and some surgeons in his area said they won't touch it. Anyone know a good surgeon who may be able to help him?

He will probably pay cash and will fly anywhere.
 
I read that the tendon can't be reattached if it has been that long. I'm not sure what the options are once the muscle and tendon have atrophied to that degree.

It took two surgeries to fix mine, and I had major complications with both. I'm not sure if I'd recommend either surgeon.
 
Richard Lehman in St. Louis Missouri (314)-909-1666. He successfully operated on me, a good friend of mine, and many professional athletes. He's one of the best and definitely worth a call.
 
It can always be reattached, it just might not be in the same location, there are biceps tendon transplants available also.

Thank you
 
Anyone know Evan Centopani's surgeon who operated on his knee when he got injured?
 
I have always had good results from orthopedic sport medicine dr.'s. I go to the university as they seem more up on the latest technique and are still engaged in their jobs.
 
i tore mine, never got it fixed. the doctor said its just cosmetic, if i dont mind how it looks, no harm.
another doc said he's had bb'ers ask to cut the tendon to give them a better peak. purposely cut it.
he wouldn't of course.
the only problem is, now you only have one muscle so if that tendon tears....

This is an urban legend from medical school I think, I have heard this same thing a dozen times, I never believed it. It's what they used to tell people to make them feel better before they figured out how to actually fix the tendon properly. When I had mine re-attached a decade ago, my doctor (team doc for raiders/sharks) told me that ten years ago, they didn't even know how to fix it properly, specifically, they didn't know that the tendon would grow back into the bone on its own if it was just sutured down to be in contact with the bone.

So what you have is a bunch of old-fashioned information out there from doctors who never learned how much better the current repairs are, LOTS of family practice doctors are still misinformed and even some orthos.

There are exceptions but generally, it should be re-attached, if done perfectly immediately after injury, you will be back to 100% in under 6 months.
