Diagnosed, triceps tendon has pulled a bit of bone off the olecranon process. where do i go from here treatment wise?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Orthopedic surgeon: Triceps tendon ruptures or avulsions from the olecranon process require operative repair to restore elbow flexion strength. The repair is more successful if done acutely.
