What’s your outlook? I had a buddy have pretty much the same thing happen and the doctor told him he’d permanently lose about 10% of the strength in that arm.
10% after re attachment or did he not have it reattached?
My doctor said in time, it will be 100%. I could have opted not to have it reattached, possibly losing up to 50% strength in that arm.

Got mine reattached at the shoulder and the PT was hell. After 6 weeks I lost feeling in my hand so I ended up having nerve issues as well. Good Luck!

He had it reattached. I think there was also tissue damage to the bicep muscle tissue itself. Not completely ruptured, but a tear.
