Anatomy of the Triceps Brachii Tendon | Surgery for Triceps Tendon Rupture | Elbow Surgeon
Recently, a group of renowned elbow surgeons gathered to conduct a study of the anatomy of the triceps brachii tendon and to furthermore discuss options related to surgery for triceps tendon ruptures. Using eight cadaveric elbows, dissections were conducted to view the anatomy of the triceps brachii tendon. In each cadaver, the group of elbow surgeons, including Dr. Peter Millett, noted the size of the ruptures, the anatomy surrounding the tears, and important implications for surgery for triceps tendon ruptures. The study by each elbow surgeon led to consistent findings and can be reviewed in detail in the study: Surgical Anatomy of the Triceps Brachii Tendon. You can review more articles on the elbow on this site for further study.
Distal Biceps Tendon Rupture | Injuries of the Elbow | Orthopedic Elbow Surgeon
Elbow injuries occur often among athletes and everyday active people. While they occur often, orthopedic elbow surgeons still slightly disagree on course of treatment for one particular injury: the distal biceps tendon rupture. Distal biceps tendon ruptures are a relatively rare occurrence and present themselves with an initial tearing sensation accompanied by acute pain in the elbow region of the arm. Weakness and fatigue in this area often follow. There are many tests to determine specific injuries of the elbow; Dr. Peter Millett was recently part of an investigation regarding the best way to treat distal biceps tendon ruptures. Several orthopedic elbow surgeons took part in this study to discuss elbow surgeries with both single and two-incision operative repairs involving fixation methods.
