-
Distal triceps ruptures are rare injuries due to the special anatomical features of the muscle and tendon–bone junction.
-
This injury typically occurs at the tendon–bone junction due to an eccentric contraction of the muscle.
-
The treatment is controversial, especially in partial ruptures; surgical repair is indicated for complete ruptures of the distal triceps tendon.
-
Several repair techniques have been described for acute complete ruptures.
-
Chronic ruptures often require reconstruction rather than direct repair.
