Attenuation of the biceps tendon refers to a weakening or thinning of the tendon that connects the biceps muscle to the shoulder joint. This condition can result from repetitive stress, injury, or degeneration, leading to pain, decreased strength, and reduced function in the shoulder. It is often associated with conditions like rotator cuff tears or shoulder impingement. Diagnosis typically involves imaging studies and can be managed through physical therapy, medication, or surgical intervention if necessary.
