Surgical Anatomy of the Triceps Brachii Tendon
نویسندگان
چکیده
contributions from the medial, lateral, and long heads of the muscle. During the course of performing a triceps tendon repair, we noted a specific deep tendon separate from the more superficial tendon. This observation stimulated us to perform an anatomical study to define the triceps tendon in greater detail. The purpose of this study is to better define the triceps brachii tendon and its insertion and discuss the clinical implications of our findings.

Surgical anatomy of the triceps brachii tendon: anatomical study and clinical correlation.
BACKGROUND The triceps tendon has been described as a single unit with contribution from each of the 3 heads of the muscle. An observation at the time of surgical repair of a triceps tendon injury led to an anatomical study to further define the anatomy of this tendon as it inserts on the olecranon. HYPOTHESIS The medial head of the triceps has a tendon that is distinct from, and deep to, the...
متن کاملTriceps brachii distal tendon reattachment with a double-row technique.
Case reports and small series have reported variable results regarding the treatment of choice for patients with triceps brachii tendon ruptures. Early surgical repair has been recommended for acute complete ruptures of the triceps brachii distal tendon to prevent late functional disability. However, controversy exists regarding the optimum surgical technique of reattachment. In addition, vario...
متن کاملBilateral triceps tendon tear
Triceps tendon tear is one of the least commonly recognized major tendon tears. Bilateral triceps tendon tears are especially rare. We present a case of simultaneous complete tears of bilateral triceps tendons secondary to a fall. The anatomy, etiology, image findings, and current literature are discussed.
متن کاملThe distal triceps tendon footprint and a biomechanical analysis of 3 repair techniques.
BACKGROUND Anatomic repair of tendon ruptures is an important goal of surgical treatment. There are limited data on the triceps brachii insertion, footprint, and anatomic reconstruction of the distal triceps tendon. HYPOTHESIS An anatomic repair of distal triceps tendon ruptures more closely imitates the preinjury anatomy and may result in a more durable repair. STUDY DESIGN Descriptive and...

19 The cases of 4 Pomeranians with injury of the triceps brachii tendon that underwent surgical 20 treatment were retrospectively reviewed to evaluate some clinical findings including signalment, 21 cause of injury, clinical signs, pattern of injury, surgical technique, external coaptation after 22 operation, complications, and outcomes. While all of the dogs showed non-weight bearing posture o...
