Chronic triceps insufficiency, causing prolonged disability, occurs due to a missed diagnosis of an acute rupture. We report a 25 year old male with history of a significant fall sustaining multiple injuries. Since then, he had inability in extending his right elbow for which he sought intervention after a year. Diagnosis of triceps rupture was made clinicoradiologically and surgery was planned. Intraoperative findings revealed a deficient triceps with a fleck of avulsed bone from olecranon. Ipsilateral double tendon graft including extensor carpi radialis longus and palmaris longus were anchored to triceps and secured with the olecranon. Six-months follow revealed a complete active extension of elbow and a full function at the donor site.

DECORIN, a triceps-derived myokine, protects sorted β-cells and human islets against chronic inflammation associated with type 2 diabetes.

Aim: Pancreatic β-cells are susceptible to inflammation, leading to decreased insulin production/secretion and cell death. Previously, we have identified a novel triceps-derived myokine, DECORIN, which plays a pivotal role in skeletal muscle-to-pancreas interorgan communication. However, whether DECORIN can directly impact β-cell function and susceptibility to inflammation remains unexplored.

Objective: To objectively quantify changes in muscle properties in chronic stroke survivors and the effects of spasticity and botulinum toxin injections (BoNTi) on muscle properties using ultrasonography.
Design: In this cross-sectional observational study, 24 stroke subjects with history of BoNTi to biceps brachii muscles (BB) but without BoNTi to the triceps (TRI) were included.
Results: 12 subjects had spastic TRI, the other half did not.
Distal Triceps Tendon Rupture-First Retrospective Study in Central Europe.

This retrospective study is the only one in the last 10 years from central Europe and provides a current picture of prevalence, new diagnostic modalities, new methods of surgical treatment, and also offers new insights into post-operative care. Triceps tendon rupture is the least reported among all the tendon injuries in the literature. In general, effective treatments for tendon injuries are lacking because the understanding of tendon biology lags behind that of the other components of the musculoskeletal system.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the articular branches that supply the posterior elbow joint, aiming to enhance pain management techniques like nerve blocks and radiofrequency ablation, which have not been widely applied to the elbow yet.! -
- It involved dissecting 12 upper extremity specimens to detail the origin, course, and distribution of these branches, resulting in 3D models that map their spatial relationships to key anatomical landmarks.! -
- Findings show that various nerves, particularly the ulnar nerve and its branches, innervate different parts of the elbow joint, providing essential anatomical insights for developing more effective pain treatment protocols in future clinical applications.!
