Case reports and small series have reported variable results regarding the treatment of choice for patients with triceps brachii tendon ruptures. Early surgical repair has been recommended for acute complete ruptures of the triceps brachii distal tendon to prevent late functional disability. However, controversy exists regarding the optimum surgical technique of reattachment. In addition, various attachment techniques have been described, with none shown clinically to be superior. Therefore, the authors present a technique for triceps brachii distal tendon reattachment following acute complete ruptures and evaluate their results in a series of patients.
