P atell cubiti is a patella-like sesamoid bone in the triceps brachii tendon. 1 Its etiology is unknown and theories include congenital, developmental or traumatic injury. Normal radiography shows an ossicle projected posterior to the elbow joint. This case study aims to increase the awareness about the existence of patella cubiti. Case reportA 39 year-old-man with acute left elbow pain after a motor vehicle accident was admitted. At presentation, he was found to have swelling and tenderness at the distal third of the caudal aspect of the left elbow. Examination revealed tenderness with a palpable gap at the triceps brachii tendon insertion, proximal to the olecranon. The triceps brachii tendon of the left elbow joint had full function and full range of motion. AbstractPatella cubiti is a rare anomaly of the elbow, which can be unilateral or bilateral. It is a sesamoid bone in the triceps brachii tendon. The patella cubiti can be asymptomatic or symptomatic, with limitation of motion, stiffness or pain. Radiography shows a smooth well-corticated ossicle projected posterior to the elbow joint. This can be mistaken for a post-traumatic non-union of an old fracture of the olecranon tip. Radiology data and clinical examination are both important and key to an accurate diagnosis. In the case of an abnormal proximal migration of the patella cubiti, a ruptured triceps brachii tendon should be considered.

“…Jaiswal et al [ 19 ] reported 3 cases about trans-osseous nonmetallic cerclage for repairing triceps tendon rupture (bone to tendon repair). In case 1 Ethibond (size 2) was used, in case 2 Ethibond (size 5) and in case 3 Ethibond (size 5).…”

“…The postoperative protocol was the same among the cases: elbow immobilization in plaster for three weeks, triceps strengthening was started after three months and full triceps strength was reached after 1 year. In case 1 a 10 °terminal restriction of elbow flexion was established and in case 2 and 3 full triceps strength and range of motion was established [ 19 ].…”

This study reports data from a larger number of cases of triceps tendon disruption. Records from 10 veterinary referral hospitals between 2003 and 2014 were searched for canine and feline cases diagnosed with triceps tendon disruption, based on orthopaedic examination confirmed during surgery. Long-term follow-up and owner satisfaction were assessed using a questionnaire. There were 13 cases of triceps tendon disruption diagnosed across seven hospitals (nine dogs, four cats). Trauma, history or presence of a wound, surgery in the region of tendon attachment or corticosteroid treatment preceded triceps tendon disruption. Radiographic signs or histopathology suggestive of a chronic tendinopathy was common. All cases underwent surgical repair involving a tendon suture pattern, 12 of which were secured through bone tunnels. Immobilisation was used in all cases in the form of transarticular external skeletal fixation (TAESF) (8/9 dogs) or spica splint (four cats, two dogs; in one dog a TAESF was applied after complications associated with the spica splint). Complications occurred in 11 cases (17 total complications), frequently associated with the immobilisation method. One case had traumatic tendon rerupture two years following surgery. A wound at presentation was associated with the development of multiple complications. Nine cases had long-term follow-up; five achieved normal function, four achieved acceptable function. Despite the complications, overall return to subjective normal or acceptable function, as assessed by the owners, was achieved in the majority of cases.
