| Abstract: | Introduction: Triceps tendon ruptures are uncommon. It is caused by rapid, severe elbow flexion. They could be related with olecranon avulsion. They are frequently observed in bodybuilders, football players, and weightlifters. Early cases are treated with primary repair, and late cases are treated with reconstruction using tendon grafts. Background: Triceps tendon avulsion is one of the rare tendinous injuries. Such injuries can easily be missed, and should be kept as a differential diagnosis in all patients who present with pain and swelling at the back of the elbow after a traumatic event. Discussions: A 39 years old man came to ortho OPD with pain in the right elbow due to self-fall on right outstretched hand. He had chronic kidney disease. On examination mild swelling present over right elbow, tenderness present over the olecranon process of right elbow posteriorly, muscle power of triceps-1/5 and loss of active extension of right elbow. Methods: Triceps tendon was found to be retracted 2cm proximal to the olecranon. The avulsed fragment was removed. The triceps tendon is surgically repaired with ethibond and transosseous Krakow sutures. The sutures were removed after 15 days. Results: After three weeks, mobilisation of the right elbow was initiated. Except for the final 10 degrees of extension, the patient's right elbow regained its usual range of motion after five weeks of surgery. |
