Use of an equine pericardium membrane in the treatment of chronic complete rupture of the distal triceps tendon.

Distal triceps tendon rupture is a rare event that can cause long-term disability; it is markedly prevalent in the male gender (3:1). Often, it originates as a result of single traumatic events: typically falls on the palm of the hand or direct trauma to the posterior region of the elbow. The patient in this case is a male adult who had sustained a violent sports injury about 3 months earlier and presented on observation with marked reduction in elbow flexion-extension and total deficit of active extension against gravity. Following MRI analysis, it was proposed that the patient should proceed with surgery to reinsert the triceps tendon at its olecranon insertion by bridging bone sutures and reinforcement by means of an equine pericardium membrane.
