Although tendon ruptures can occur at different areas of the body like the legs, arms or biceps, they can present similar symptoms, such as pain, swelling in the affected area, inability to move the specific body part, bruising, and weakness. The most common types of ruptures are of the rotator cuff, Achilles tendon, and biceps tendon.
