title: [Closed trauma of the tendon of the brachial triceps. Review of the literature. Apropos of 2 cases].
abstract: Triceps tendon closed trauma remains a rare injury. A palpable gap with impossible elbow extension against gravity is an important physical finding, and a positive "flake sign" or small avulsion fracture from the olecranon is found in the majority of patients. Trans-osseous suture gives excellent results. Partial lesions must be treated conservatively.
