The biceps muscle is located at the front of your arm. The muscle has two tendons that attach it to the bones of the scapula bone of the shoulder and one tendon that attaches to the radius bone at the elbow. The tendons connect muscles to bones and allow us to move our limbs.

Injuries to the biceps tendons include:

• Proximal biceps tendonitis at shoulder
• Proximal biceps tendon tear at shoulder

Surgery can be performed after continued symptoms despite physical therapy and/or injections
