Abstract:
We report a triceps tendon avulsion (less than 40 cases reported in the medical literature). Clinical and radiological signs are: 1) Impossible elbow extension against gravity, 2) Flecks of avulsed osseous materiel from the olecranon on lateral elbow radiograph. Immediate surgical repair always produces good results.
