Abstract
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.
