Overview
Brief Summary
The goal of this investigation is to determine if using BFR during postoperative therapy would lead to increased and expedited strength gains. Additionally, the investigators would like to determine if BFR is beneficial in preventing muscle atrophy and fatty infiltration in the setting of bicep tendon tears, due to the altered tension-length relationship following surgery. The study will also look at patient reported outcomes metrics and pain scores to determine if BFR has a significant impact on the patient experience surrounding distal biceps tear and surgical repair
