torn bicep
: I TORE MY DISTAL BICEP IN 2010, HAD SURGERY WITHIN A WEEK AND A HALF, THEN A YEAR LATER IN JAN 2012 A SECOND SURGERY FOR A DECOMPRESSION OF THE FOREARM.: MY QUESTIONS IS AFTER A PT PROGRAM WHAT IS THE PROBABILITY THAT MY ARM WILL BE RETURNED TO “GOOD AS NEW” OR WHAT IN YOUR OPINION WILL BE THE PERCENTAGE OF RECOVERY TO ITS ORIGINAL STRENGTH.

Maybe a PT will reply with a more specific answer (I am an ATC), but I have never seen a repair that brought a person’s bicep back to “good as new”. I have seen some people get back to about 75% of their original strength. Ask your Orthopedist and/or PT what you should be able to expect from rehab.
