Abstract

Rupture of the triceps tendon is an uncommon injury, probably the rarest of all tendinous ruptures. We present a case of missed diagnosis of triceps tendon rupture. Such diagnosis should be considered when a patient presents with pain and swelling at the back of the elbow after a fall on an outstretched hand.
