Abstract
Triceps tendon ruptures are uncommon injuries, but they typically require surgical
repair. Multiple primary repair techniques are available, including transosseous,
suture anchor, and anatomic repairs. The technique described here, the “suture bridge”
repair, provides an anatomic repair of the distal triceps tendon to its footprint.
It has the potential advantages of increased load to failure, better footprint coverage,
higher load resistance, and allows for early motion.
