Distal Triceps Rupture Repair: The Triceps Pulley-Pullover Technique

Distal triceps rupture is an uncommon but debilitating injury, and surgical fixation is almost invariably warranted.

Sumario:Distal triceps rupture is an uncommon but debilitating injury, and surgical fixation is almost invariably warranted. A number of techniques have been described in the literature in which combinations of transosseous tunnels and bone anchors have been used. We describe a modification to existing techniques—the triceps pulley-pullover technique with all-suture anchors. This technique minimizes bone loss, while maximizing the bone-tendon contact area and creating a double-row repair to optimize strength and healing.
