Biceps Tendon Rupture/Tear

Patient image of: Susan Drexel Paisley

I tore my rotator cuff in June. Dr. Carl Cirino operated on me in August, and I needed to be somewhat recovered by November to play a very important solo pipe organ concert with full orchestra, in memory of my recently departed Mother. Dr. Cirino performed a miracle operation, so that I was able to accomplish this feat, playing the Saint Saens Organ Symphony #3 with the Hamden Symphony orchestra. I am still attending physical therapy, and I am recovering well.
