Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Traumatology

Background:

  • Biceps and triceps tendon injuries around the elbow are uncommon.
  • These injuries typically result from forceful eccentric contractions during trauma.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the timely identification and diagnosis of elbow tendon injuries.
  • To provide guidelines for the treatment of acute and chronic biceps and triceps tendon injuries.

Main Methods:

  • Review of injury mechanisms and clinical presentations.
  • Discussion of diagnostic criteria and imaging modalities.
  • Analysis of treatment strategies for acute, partial, and chronic tendon injuries.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Acute, complete tendon ruptures treated with anatomic repair yield good results.
  • Conservative management is suitable for partial tears with minimal functional deficit or surgical contraindications.
  • Chronic injuries require varied surgical approaches.

    • Conclusions:

    • Early recognition and prompt intervention are crucial for successful outcomes in elbow tendon injuries.
    • Treatment strategies should be tailored to injury severity, chronicity, and patient factors.
