title: Avulsion of the long head of the triceps in kidney transplant.
abstract: The authors describe a case of avulsion of the long head of the triceps in a patient with kidney transplant. An analysis of the case and a review of the literature suggest weakening of the osteotendinous junction due to the associated action of renal osteodystrophy and cortisone therapy.
