Purpose: Injury to the distal triceps brachii tendon is rare. Imaging radiographs are used to confirm the findings of physical examination, classify the extent of injury, and guide treatment. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is considered the gold standard of diagnostic imaging. However, no previous study has reported on the accuracy of differentiation between partial- and full-thickness triceps tendon tears. Our study’s aim was to define the accuracy of MRI in differentiating partial- from full-thickness tear of the distal triceps tendon. We hypothesized that MRI has low accuracy in differentiating partial- from full-thickness tears. Methods: A total of eight patients with nine triceps tendon tears underwent surgical repair from 2011 to 2015. MRI of the elbows were retrospectively reviewed for the presence and type of tear, tendon involvement, and location of the tear, and later correlated with surgical findings. Results: Of the three surgically confirmed complete tears, MRI correctly reported a complete tear in all patients. Of the six partial tears confirmed at surgery, MRI correctly identified four tears. In two cases, MRI described a complete tear, but only a partial tear was noted at surgery. Conclusion: False-positive MRI assessment of distal triceps injury is not rare. Surgeons should rely on clinical examination in assessing distal triceps tendon injury, with imaging studies providing an adjunctive role in the diagnosis and decision-making.

Background: Endoscopic surgical repair has become a common procedure for treating patients with hip abductor tendon tears. Considering that retear rates are high after the repair of gluteus medius and minimus tendons, exploring alternative strategies to enhance structural healing is important. Purpose/Hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of adding microfracture to single-row repair (SR) on outcomes after the surgical repair of gluteus medius and minimus tendons and compare with SR and double-row repair (DR) without microfracture. We hypothesized that microfracture of the trochanteric footprint with SR would lead to superior clinical outcomes and lower clinically evident retear rates compared with SR and DR without the addition of microfracture. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: A total of 50 patients who underwent primary arthroscopic repair of hip gluteus medius and minimus tendon tears were investigated. Patients were divided into 3 groups: DR, 16 patients; SR, 14 patients; and SR with microfracture (SRM), 20 patients. Patients were evaluated with a visual analog scale (VAS) for pain as well as the Hip Outcome Score–Activities of Daily Living (HOS-ADL), Hip Outcome Score–Sport Specific (HOS-SS), and modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS) both preoperatively and at a minimum 2-year follow-up (mean, 30 months). Results: Among the SR, SRM, and DR groups, the greatest decrease in VAS scores and increase in mHHS, HOS-ADL, and HOS-SS scores were seen in the SRM group, and all the differences were significant ( P < .001 to P = .006). The abductor tendon retear rates were 31.3%, 35.7%, and 15.0% in the DR, SR, and SRM groups, respectively. Retear rates were lower in the SRM group compared with the SR and DR groups ( P = .042); however, there was no significant difference between the SR and DR groups ( P = .32) in terms of retear rates. Conclusion: Endoscopic SR with microfracture was a safe, practical, and effective technique and had the potential advantage of enhancing biological healing at the footprint. The addition of microfracturing the trochanteric footprint significantly lowered the retear rate and provided better functional outcomes than SR and DR without microfracture.

Triceps tendon rupture is rare and easily missed on presentation. A 58-year-old man was seen in our accident and emergency department with an inability to extend his right elbow against gravity after he fell. Ultrasound and MRI confirmed the suspected diagnosis of a traumatic triceps tendon rupture and excluded additional injuries. Surgical repair was carried out by a bone anchor suture reinsertion of the tendon to the olecranon. After 2 weeks of cast immobilisation, an early active range of motion (ROM) rehabilitation schedule was followed, resulting in excellent elbow function at 12 weeks postoperatively.In conclusion, it is important to suspect this rare injury and use additional studies to confirm the diagnosis of triceps tendon rupture. Also, good clinical outcome with regards to function can be achieved using bone anchor suture repair and an early active ROM rehabilitation schedule.
