A rare complete brachioradialis tendon rupture occurred in a waterskiing accident. Surgical intervention combined with physiotherapy proved effective for recovery in this case study.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Sports Medicine
- Musculoskeletal Research
Background:
- Isolated complete brachioradialis tendon ruptures are exceptionally rare.
- Limited existing literature addresses the etiology and management of such injuries.
Observation:
- A 44-year-old male sustained a complete, closed brachioradialis tendon rupture after a waterskiing incident.
- Clinical examination, imaging, and operative findings were documented.
- The patient was otherwise healthy.
Findings:
- Successful management involved a combined surgical and staged physiotherapy approach.
- This strategy led to positive final outcomes for the patient.
Implications:
- This case provides valuable insights into treating rare brachioradialis tendon ruptures.
- It underscores the efficacy of integrated surgical and rehabilitation protocols.
- Further research into similar isolated tendon injuries is warranted.
