Severe tendon rupture in the arm. Due to the tendon rupture, it is best to go to the hospital as soon as possible for surgical treatment. It is important to prevent re-rupture and ensure gradual tendon contraction. After early debridement, tendon suturing, and postoperative immobilization with plaster or support, the integrity, continuity, and function of the tendon can be restored through rehabilitation exercises.
