Abstract:
Avulsion of the triceps tendon is a rare injury accounting for less than 1% of all tendon injuries. The triceps is an extensor of the elbow and causes compromised function if left untreated. Complete ruptures should be treated with early repairs for satisfactory outcomes. Most of the repair techniques describe transosseous repairs, which do not replicate the footprint anatomy of the triceps insertion. This Technical Note describes an arthroscopic double-row footprint repair for the avulsion of the triceps tendon using all posterior portals.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
