Complete triceps tendon ruptures, though rare, significantly impact elbow extension strength in athletes. Surgical repair is essential for restoring function, with techniques including Achilles tendon allograft reconstruction for severe cases.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Musculoskeletal Research

Background:

  • Complete triceps tendon rupture is a rare injury, predominantly affecting athletes.
  • The primary functional deficit following triceps tendon rupture is the loss of elbow extension strength.
  • While partial tears may be managed non-operatively, complete tears necessitate surgical intervention to restore elbow extension.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a preferred surgical technique for the acute repair of complete triceps tendon ruptures.
  • To outline strategies for reconstructing the triceps tendon using an Achilles tendon allograft when primary repair is not feasible.

Main Methods:

  • Description of a preferred surgical technique for acute triceps tendon rupture repair.
  • Detailed explanation of triceps tendon reconstruction utilizing an Achilles tendon allograft.

Main Results:

  • The presented technique aims to restore active elbow extension by repairing the complete triceps tendon rupture.
  • Allograft reconstruction provides a viable option for managing complex or chronic triceps tendon defects.

Conclusions:

  • Surgical repair is mandatory for complete triceps tendon ruptures to regain elbow extension function.
  • The described surgical approach and allograft reconstruction techniques offer effective solutions for triceps tendon avulsions in the athletic population.
