Article Synopsis
- Triceps tendon ruptures are rare, making up less than 1% of upper extremity tendon injuries, but can occur with traumatic injuries, particularly in specific athlete demographics.
- A unique case involved an adolescent skier who sustained a distal triceps rupture and medial ulnar collateral ligament injury from a non-contact fall, highlighting a rare combination of injuries typically seen in older athletes.
- This incident emphasizes the need for more research on adolescent injuries related to trampoline training and calls for better safety protocols in sports involving such equipment.
Popliteal cysts are a collection of synovial fluid found in the popliteal fossa that typically form in adults in association with traumatic injuries, degenerative conditions, or inflammatory arthritis of the knee. While often asymptomatic, popliteal cysts may become problematic as enlarging and ruptured cysts may compress surrounding neurovascular structures, resulting in lower extremity edema or peripheral neuropathy. We report a unique case of a symptomatic popliteal cyst in a patient with both compressive neuropathy and venous congestion in the setting of a non-ruptured popliteal cyst after a surgically repaired intraarticular injury.
