In a magnetic resonance imaging study, Koplas et al. [1] analyzed 801 consecutive elbow examinations, offering a thorough overview of clinical findings. From this extensive review, the researchers identified 28 patients with a total of 30 triceps brachii tendon injuries, distinguishing between partial and complete tears.

摘要

In a magnetic resonance imaging study, Koplas et al. [1] analyzed 801 consecutive elbow examinations, offering a thorough overview of clinical findings. From this extensive review, the researchers identified 28 patients with a total of 30 triceps brachii tendon injuries, distinguishing between partial and complete tears. The prevalence of triceps brachii tendon injuries in this study was 3.8%. Among this cohort, partial tears emerged as the most prevalent injury, with pain standing out as the predominant symptom. Notably, athletic-related factors, particularly in weightlifting, were identified as the primary cause of injuries. The study also shed light on significant associations, revealing six cases where tendon tears were complications of infection and three cases linked to steroid use.
