The biceps tendon is torn all the way through, and the biceps has pulled the broken end away from the shoulder.

The bicipital aponeurosis is the connective tissue that comes from the distal insertion of the biceps. It helps strengthen the area at the front of the elbow.

Reinsertion of ruptured biceps/triceps tendon, distal, with/without tendon graft
The bulk of the muscle is proximal. But part of it isn't.
Brachialis - attaches from the anterior proximal humerus to the coronoid process of the ulna - strong flexor of the elbowBrachioradialis - attaches from the lateral supracondylar ridge of the humerus to the distal styloid of the radius - weak flexor of the elbow

Distal
Proximal is the opposite of distal.
What does it mean there is a full thickness tear of the supraspinatus tendon mesuring 2.3 cm in the mediolateral dimension and approximately 2.9cm in the AP dimension. The tendon is retracted to a point lying beneath the lateral aspect of the acromion. Therer is superior sublucation of the humeral head relative to the glenoid.
Distal refers to 'further from the attachment point'. For example, the ankle is distal to the knee.
