The ligament tear may occur to anyone who suffers a fail, although it is common in athletes who perform repetitive motions.

A tear in the distal biceps tendon is likely to occur with a sudden injury. The tendon can tear in two ways. It can first partially tear but does not split the tendon, or it can completely tear and split the tendon into two separate pieces. Unlike other parts of the body, a torn tendon is not able to grow back and completely heal itself. Without resorting to surgery, tendon tears may be treated by regenerative medicine.

The cartilage surface of the elbow can become worn out over time or due to an injury leading to osteoarthritis of the elbow joint. Symptoms usually involve pain and some loss in proper movement of the elbow.

Elbow injuries can lead to symptoms such as pain, swelling, numbness, tingling, weakness, or decreased range of motion. Injuries can be due to sports, work, home activities or even falls.
