Condition
Triceps Tendon Tear
A one-page care plan for patients with Triceps Tendon Tear, covering Purpose, Prevention & Protection, Education & Expectations, Nutrition & Next Steps, Consistency, Indications and Lifestyle & Long-Term Success.
In this plan
Purpose, Prevention & Protection
- I know this tear affects the triceps tendon at my elbow, which helps me straighten my arm and push.
- I know tears often happen from a fall, heavy pushing, weightlifting, or a sudden force on my arm.
- I know a partial tear leaves some tendon attached, while a complete tear pulls the tendon off the bone.
- I protect my elbow from heavy pushing or lifting until my care team says it is safe.
