Distal Triceps Speed Bridge Repair.

ABSTRACT: Distal triceps ruptures are uncommon injuries resulting in loss of elbow extension strength and necessitating surgical repair to ensure optimal functional outcome. Traditional fixation techniques using running, locking sutures through the tendon secured through bone tunnels have been shown to poorly restore the anatomic footprint and are mechanically inferior to anatomic repairs. We endorse restoring the anatomic footprint of the distal triceps, similar to the well-researched rotator cuff repair model.

Arthroscopic Distal Triceps Repair.

Project description:In this note, we describe an arthroscopic repair of a degenerative tear of the triceps using a suture weave and an anatomic footprint anchor. We are able to assess, debride, and anatomically repair the distal triceps to its insertion. Compared with open procedures, this arthroscopic repair offers lower morbidity, faster recovery, and improved cosmesis. Our goal was to improve the function and strength of the elbow through this arthroscopic surgical fixation.

Distal Triceps Rupture Repair: The Triceps Pulley-Pullover Technique.

Project description: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.

Distal triceps knotless anatomic footprint repair: a new technique.

Project description:Distal triceps rupture is a rare injury causing significant disability. Several techniques for treating distal triceps ruptures have been described using bone tunnels or suture anchors. More recent techniques have focused on re-creating the anatomic footprint of the distal triceps tendon. However, the increasing numbers of anchors used increase the risk to the articular surface, and all earlier techniques require knot tying and bulky knots beneath the thin posterior elbow soft-tissue envelope. We describe a technique combining the use of bone tunnels and a single suture anchor to create a knotless anatomic footprint repair of the distal triceps. By using this technique, we are able to create a tension-band construct that self-reinforces the anatomic repair and is very low profile while significantly decreasing risk to the articular surface.

All-Suture Anatomic Footprint Repair of the Distal Triceps Tendon.

Project description:Distal triceps ruptures are an uncommon injury, and currently, there is a lack of consensus on the optimal surgical technique for repair. The traditional transosseous cruciate repair has been shown to be nonanatomic and to have a higher failure rate and be biomechanically inferior to suture anchor repairs. The use of anchors significantly increases procedure cost and theoretically increases the risk of complications related to drill and anchor placement. The technique described in this article allows anatomic restoration of the triceps tendon while avoiding the increased cost and risk that may be associated with suture anchor placement.

Muscle Fatigue in the Three Heads of Triceps Brachii During Intensity and Speed Variations of Triceps Push-Down Exercise.

Project description:The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of changes in exercise intensity and speed on the three heads of the triceps brachii (TB) during triceps push-down exercise until task failure. Twenty-five subjects performed triceps push-down exercise at three different intensities (30, 45, and 60% 1RM) and speeds (slow, medium, and fast) until failure, and surface electromyography (sEMG) signals were recorded from the lateral, long and medial heads of the TB. The endurance time (ET), number of repetitions (NR) and rate of fatigue (ROF) were analyzed. Subsequently, the root-mean-square (RMS), mean power frequency (MPF) and median frequency (MDF) under no-fatigue (NF) and fatigue (Fa) conditions were statistically compared. The findings reveal that ROF increases with increase in the intensity and speed, and the opposite were obtained for the ET. The ROF in the three heads were comparable for all intensities and speeds. The ROF showed a significant difference (P < 0.05) among the three intensities and speeds for all heads. The three heads showed significantly different (P < 0.05) MPF and MDF values for all the performed exercises under both conditions, whereas the RMS values were significantly different only under Fa conditions. The current observations suggest that exercise intensity and speed affect the ROF while changes in intensity do not affect the MPF and MDF under Fa conditions. The behavior of the spectral parameters indicate that the three heads do not work in unison under any of the conditions. Changes in the speed of triceps push-down exercise affects the lateral and long heads, but changes in the exercise intensity affected the attributes of all heads to a greater extent.

The distal triceps tendon insertional anatomy-implications for surgery.

Project description:Background:Improved knowledge of the distal triceps insertion is needed as a result of an increase in procedures involving this area, including distal triceps repair, posterior capsulectomy, and olecranon tip osteotomy for coronoid reconstruction. Materials and methods:Five pair-matched upper limbs were dissected to study the morphology and dimension of the distal triceps tendon, triceps tendon insertion, capsular insertion on the olecranon, and triceps lateral retinaculum. Muscle origins of the triceps insertions were identified proximally. Results:Three distinct insertional areas were found in the olecranon corresponding to the posterior capsular insertion, the deep muscular portion, and the superficial tendinous portion of the triceps with areas of 1.5, 1.2, and 2.8?cm2, respectively. The deep muscular head corresponded to the medial head of the triceps and the tendinous portion corresponded to the long and lateral heads and correlated with the height of the specimen. The triceps width at insertion was 2.6?±?0.5 cm (standard deviation), and the triceps lateral retinaculum extended the tendon laterally for 2.5?±?0.7 cm. The tendinous portion of the triceps tendon extended proximally 15.3 ±?1.4 cm. The triceps inserted at a mean of 1.1?cm from the tip of the olecranon. Conclusions:The distinct insertional heads of the triceps provides additional knowledge that can aid in diagnosing and treating partial triceps tears. In addition, a safe zone for capsulectomy and olecranon tip osteotomy is described that can be used to increase the safety of these procedures.

Distal Patellar Tendon SpeedBridge Repair.

Project description:Patellar tendon ruptures are rare injuries in young athletes, resulting in disruption of the extensor mechanism, and require surgery for functional recovery. Several techniques have been reported, including end-to-end repair and single-row suture anchor constructs. The strength of these repairs has been questioned, and they are commonly augmented. We endorse a double-row repair technique that provides an anatomic restoration of the footprint, has high fixation strength, eliminates the need for graft augmentation, and allows early motion.

Acute Triceps Tendon Repair: A Technique Utilizing 3 Curved Tunnels and Proximal Knots.

Project description:Although triceps tendon tears are less common than other tendon tears, complete ruptures require surgical repair to restore the strength of the extensor mechanism of the elbow. There are several described techniques for repair using both transosseous tunnels and suture anchors. Current techniques often result in large suture knots over the dorsal ulna under thin subcutaneous tissue, which can be irritating for patients. Knotless techniques require costly suture anchors. In this technical note, we describe a novel transosseous 3-tunnel technique with proximal suture knots to lessen the potential for postoperative pain.

Open Isolated Distal Rectus Tendon Repair.

Project description:Isolated distal rectus femoris avulsions from the common quadriceps tendon are rare and may be missed due to the integrity of the remaining extensor mechanism. In healthy, active patients, surgical repair is recommended due to the potential for persistent pain, cramping, and weakness. In the case of isolated distal rectus femoris avulsions, however, there are important surgical considerations and differences when compared with the treatment of complete quadriceps tendon ruptures. This Technical Note describes an open repair of an isolated distal rectus femoris rupture with reinsertion into the common quadriceps tendon.

Subscapularis Tendon Repair Using Suture Bridge Technique.

Project description:The subscapularis tendon plays an essential role in shoulder function. Although subscapularis tendon tears are less common than other rotator cuff tears, tears of the subscapularis tendon have increasingly been recognized with the advent of magnetic resonance imaging and arthroscopy. A suture bridge technique for the treatment of posterosuperior rotator cuff tears has provided the opportunity to improve the pressurized contact area and mean footprint pressure. However, suture bridge fixation of subscapularis tendon tears appears to be technically challenging. We describe an arthroscopic surgical technique for suture bridge repair of subscapularis tendon tears that obtains ideal cuff integrity and footprint restoration. Surgery using such a suture bridge technique is indicated for large tears, such as tears involving the entire first facet or more, tears with a disrupted lateral sling, and combined medium to large supraspinatus/infraspinatus tears.
