Partial tendon tear - repair

[Benjy911]

Has anyone experience of a partial tear to a tendon in the arm?
My uncle has had one since March and the only option seems to be surgery to repair the tendon, he would like to hear of the experience of anyone who has had this operation as to its success as the tendon has no blood supply and is difficult to heal.

Thanks!

Which tendon? Distal bicep?

The Supraspinatus

Ouch! It will take about 2 years to recover to about 90+%. If they offer an operation, which will probably be keyhole, take it. I was told it would take about 3 months to recover from the operation.
