Triceps tendon rupture in females is rare. In this case report, we present a young adult female patient with a distal triceps tendon rupture from bouldering treated with open surgical repair technique using a modified bone tunnel and suture anchor fixation technique. The diagnosis and technique for repair and postoperative rehabilitation are described. A review of the current literature of biomechanical and clinical outcomes of various repair techniques is also presented.
