He has never seen one or done a repair on one. Usually tears at the shoulder. Only 3-5% on the lower bicep vs. the shoulder. Achilles tendons are the most popular(ouch).
They are trying to schedule me in for a MRI and look for a spot this week for the knife. Methodless was pretty much right when he said fix right away, if I wait the tendon tries to heal and creates too much scar tissue for proper repair.
As for avoiding it from happening, I recommend not trying to pry open a 225 lb. manhole lid with a screwdriver in one hand then using the other to pick up and flip over. It can obviously be done, but not fun afterwords....

I can only extend to 45*,muscle too tight, feels like it wants to pull off again. When I retract it I have to do it with my other hand, they don't want me using that muscle at all....
