“…The distal part of the medial head has a distinct muscle belly that has been shown to insert deep to the common triceps tendon. 4 The most common site of rupture is at the insertion of the triceps on the olecranon, which may be related to an avulsion fracture. Rupture at the musculotendinous junction and the intramuscular substance is rare.…”

Triceps tendon ruptures and avulsions are rare injuries and are often associated with systemic diseases. This paper illustrates the unique case of a 20-year-old female patient with pseudohypoparathyroidism, who sustained bilateral triceps avulsion fractures after a fall. She underwent suture anchor fixation, augmented with tension band suture as double row repair with excellent post-operative results. We describe the pathophysiology of this injury and the unique method of fixation, which can be an alternative effective method to repair these injuries.

Triceps tendon injuries are rare and current literature lacks consensus on management of these injuries. Most case reports tend to involve professional athletes, namely football players and body builders.2-4,6,13 Commonly, these injuries occur following a fall onto an outstretched hand with an eccentric load on the triceps tendon that results in its rupture, typically from the olecranon. Complete ruptures are often managed acutely with primary surgical repair. Partial ruptures and delayed diagnosis of triceps ruptures represent an area that could benefit from further studies. We present a case of a complete triceps tendon rupture with a delay in diagnosis requiring reconstruction with an Achilles allograft.
