Physical examination and MSK US were used to identify a high-grade partial triceps brachii tendon tear. The MSK US findings informed the physical therapist's decision-making process to refer the subject for timely advanced imaging studies as well as referral to an orthopedic physician. Outc...
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 di...
Knowledge of this may also be helpful in diagnostic means: while MRI has been shown to be sensitive in diagnosing distal triceps tendon ruptures, it has also been shown to be imprecise in distinguishing between full and partial tears. This can lead to false-positive interpretation of a partial...
Tears of the subscapularis muscle and related tendon may have been underreported, and are more obvious nowadays due to the advancement of arthroscopic techniques (Garavaglia et al., 2011). Dependent on the cause and severity of the tear, surgery may be a required option due to the limitation ...
Preoperative clinical evaluation, x-rays, muscle-tendon ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imagingwas been performed. In consideration of a 6 cm retraction at the surgery, we reconstructed the tendon using a combination of suture anchors (5 mm Super Reevo ConMed) and a cadaver fas...
MRI can distinguish between partial and complete triceps tendon tears, as well as demonstrate any associated pathology such as radial head fractures. It is important to assess the degree of tendon retraction, condition of the tendon ends, and any associated muscle atrophy, which may help decide ...
Using MRI, we found one reruptured partial tear of the triceps tendon that did not require revision surgery. Discussion Although triceps tendon ruptures are generally uncommon, partial superficial tears might be more common than previously described. Once the diagnosis is made, endoscopic repair is ...
