Ultrasound diagnosis of traumatic partial triceps tendon tear in the emergency department. J Emerg Med 2011;40(4):436-8.Sisson C, Nagdev A, Tirado A, Murphy M, Suner S. Ultrasound diagnosis of traumatic partial triceps tendon tear in the emergency department. J Emerg Med. 2011;40:436-438...
Partial ruptures of the distal triceps tendon are usually treated surgically from a size of > 50% tendon involvement. The aim of this study was to compare the ultimate load to failure of intact triceps tendons with partially ruptured tendons and
We describe what we believe to be the only reported case of simultaneous bilateral triceps tendon rupture in a healthy patient. We could find no other reported quantitative assessments of recovery after conservative management of partial triceps tendon ruptures. We hope, therefore, that this case re...
Five patients had a partial-thickness distal triceps brachii tendon tear at surgery (n = 4) or magnetic resonance imaging (n = 1). All cases only involved the superficial tendon layer (combined long and lateral heads) with retraction of a fractured olecranon enthesophyte fragment. The deep ...
In MRI we found one reruptured partial tear of the triceps tendon. Conclusion The rare partial tears of the distal triceps tendon are typically found in elderly patients or in power athletes. Nevertheless they are often masked by a more remarkable olecranon bursitis. The patients benefit from ...
