Muscles that Move the Arm01:31

Muscles that Move the Arm

4.3K
Nine muscles are involved in arm movements. Two of these, the pectoralis major and latissimus dorsi, originate from the axial skeleton and are called axial muscles. The other seven originate from the scapula and are called the scapular muscles.
The pectoralis major has two origins. Its clavicular head originates on the medial half of the clavicle. In contrast, the sternocostal head originates on the costal cartilages of ribs 1-6, the sternum, and the aponeurosis of the external oblique of the...

Muscles that Move the Forearm

3.4K
The muscles that move the forearms can be divided into four groups: forearm flexors, forearm extensors, forearm pronators, and forearm supinators. The flexors and extensors act on the elbow joint, while the pronators and supinators act on the radioulnar joints.
Forearm Flexors
The biceps brachii, brachialis, and brachioradialis are forearm flexors. The biceps brachii is made up of two heads. Its long head originates at the supraglenoid tubercle of the scapula, whereas that of the short head is...

Summary

Triceps tendon injuries are uncommon. Conservative management is effective for tendinopathies and partial tears with intact strength, but surgery may be needed if symptoms persist or strength is compromised.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Musculoskeletal Research

Background:

  • Triceps tendon injuries represent an uncommon clinical issue with limited literature.
  • Understanding the full spectrum of pathology is crucial for effective patient management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the pathology, diagnosis, and management of triceps tendon injuries.
  • To outline nonsurgical and surgical treatment options, rehabilitation strategies, and potential complications.

Main Methods:

  • This study is a literature review.
  • It synthesizes current evidence on triceps tendon injuries, covering diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Conservative management (rest, ice, NSAIDs, physical therapy) is indicated for tendinopathies and partial tears with preserved strength.
  • Surgical intervention should be considered if conservative measures fail after 6 months or if strength deficits are present.
  • Rerupture is the most significant surgical complication, occurring in 4.62% of reviewed cases.

Conclusions:

  • Management strategies for triceps tendinopathies should be tailored to the injury mechanism and patient's motor examination.
  • Current evidence lacks definitive guidelines for optimal surgical approaches.
  • Vigilance regarding the risk of rerupture is essential in surgical cases.
