The use of magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of triceps tendon ruptures.
Triceps tendon rupture is a rare injury.  Three cases are presented with a brief review of the literature.  Additionally, the use of magnetic resonance imaging to facilitate the diagnosis of triceps tendon rupture is described for the first time in the English literature.  Each of the three patients has done well with a Mersilene tape repair of the triceps tendon.
