case_images: Preoperative MRI (scanned from hard copy) with arrows indicating the complete distal triceps tendon rupture at its insertion at the olecranon in a sagittal (a) and transverse (b) view.

case_images: MRI performed four days after trauma confirmed the diagnosis of a complete distal triceps tendon avulsion (Figure 1).
case_images: Intraoperative aspect indicating (a) the ruptured and retracted distal triceps tendon and (b) the synthetic tendon allograft already positioned through the olecranon (O). Suture anchors were placed afterwards.

case_images: Via a transverse drill hole through the olecranon the construct could be tightened, approximating the synthetic augmented distal triceps tendon close to the olecranon insertion (Figure 2).
