Abstract:Subcutaneous rupture of the triceps tendon is mostly preceded by previous damage. Local injections, systemic anabolics, metabolic disorders, damage due to overstrain in heavy athletes and body builders are risk factors. Surgical treatment is mandatory. If the rupture has occurred mainly at the point of insertion of the tendon, we can recommend transosseous refixation via V-bore channels with early functional follow-up treatment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
