» Triceps tendon ruptures (TTRs) are rare and often occur as a result of falling on an outstretched hand, forceful eccentric contraction, direct trauma to the elbow, or lifting against resistance.» TTRs are most commonly seen in middle-aged men, football players, and weightlifters.» Radiography, ultrasonography, and magnetic resonance imaging may be utilized for diagnosis and to guide treatment.» Acute partial TTRs may have good outcomes with nonoperative management. Surgery should be considered if nonoperative treatment is unsuccessful or if substantial musculotendinous retraction is present.» Surgical repair is strongly recommended for complete TTRs.
