Triceps Rupture After Olecranon Fixation with Proximal Ulna Plate and Suture Augmentation: A Case Report.

When fixing olecranon fractures, surgeons should minimize triceps dissection for hardware placement. If subjected to significant force, a surgical insult to the tendon footprint for a better plate contact on the bone and the presence of suture augmentation may change the construct failure mechanism and result in triceps rupture as opposed to fracture redisplacement.
