Avulsion of the triceps tendon during acceleration stress.
2002
The authors present a rare case of triceps tendon avulsion associated with +5 G-force and muscle straining. Although failure of musculoskeletal system, mainly the cervical spine, secondary to high-G exposure has been reported, this is the first report they have found of a triceps tendon avulsion. Furthermore, unlike other traumatic triceps avulsions reported, the pilot involved had no known predisposing factors. Awareness of the possibility of such an injury must be maintained when a pilot of high performance aircraft presents with elbow pain.
