    Area of Science:

    • Orthopaedic Surgery
    • Nephrology
    • Neurology

    Background:

    • A 44-year-old male patient with a history of bilateral nephrectomies and Dilantin medication for grand mal seizures.
    • The patient experienced hypovolemia during dialysis, preceding the seizures.

    Observation:

    • The patient sustained a right triceps brachii rupture and multiple other orthopaedic injuries.
    • A grand mal seizure immediately preceded the triceps rupture and associated injuries.

    Findings:

    • This represents the third reported case of triceps brachii rupture.
    • Surgical repair of the triceps tendon defect resulted in the patient regaining an active range of motion.

    Implications:

    • Discusses the potential relationship between primary and secondary hyperparathyroidism and tendon rupture/avulsion.
