title: [Rupture of the triceps tendon in the athlete].
abstract: Subcutaneous rupture of the triceps tendon is mostly preceded by previous damage. Local injections, systemic anabolics, metabolic disorders, damage due to overstrain in heavy athletes and body builders are risk factors. Surgical treatment is mandatory. If the rupture has occurred mainly at the point of insertion of the tendon, we can recommend transosseous refixation via V-bore channels with early functional follow-up treatment.
