Symptoms include sharp shoulder or elbow pain, weakness, swelling, and a distinctive bulge in the upper arm. Early diagnosis through clinical evaluation and imaging like MRI or ultrasound is crucial for effective treatment. Management ranges from conservative care with physiotherapy to surgical repair for complete tears. Prompt medical attention reduces the risk of complications such as chronic pain and muscle atrophy. Preventative measures include strengthening exercises and proper lifting techniques.
