Reconstruction of Chronic Triceps Brachii Tendon Rupture Using Semitendinosus Autograft Surgical Technique.

Rupture of the triceps tendon is a rare event, and the care could be often problematic for orthopedic surgeons. Cases of triceps tendon re-rupture are even rarer. The stump is often retracted, atrophic, and the tissue quality is poor. Several surgical techniques have been reported. We present our surgi- cal reconstruction using free semitendinosus (ST) autograft.
