Arthroscopic Treatment in the Distal Rupture of the Triceps Brachial Tendon in Elite Athlete: A Case Report.

Injuries (rupture, avulsion) of the triceps tendon are considered infrequent injuries, which mainly affect the male gender and are directly associated with injuries that occur during sports and in a high percentage due to the consumption of steroids. The diagnosis and treatment must be carried out early, especially in those patients with high functional demand or elite athletes, in order to obtain good functional results. The clinical examination should be accompanied by diagnostic imaging studies.
