Arthrosc Tech. 2016 Aug 22;5(4):e941-e945. doi: 10.1016/j.eats.2016.04.017. eCollection 2016 Aug.

Abstract

In this note, we describe an arthroscopic repair of a degenerative tear of the triceps using a suture weave and an anatomic footprint anchor. We are able to assess, debride, and anatomically repair the distal triceps to its insertion. Compared with open procedures, this arthroscopic repair offers lower morbidity, faster recovery, and improved cosmesis. Our goal was to improve the function and strength of the elbow through this arthroscopic surgical fixation.
