The intact tendon group consisted of six left and three right elbows from six male and three female cadavers with a median age of 79.0 years (range QThe median ultimate load to failure of the intact tendon group was 1,390.0 N (range QBoxplot diagram of maximum load to failure (LTFAgreement between the investigators could be reached for all videos. The analysis showed that the tendon rupture started in the superficial tendon fibers in all cases and in the lateral tendon fibers in seven of nine cases (Fig. The rupture process of the intact distal triceps tendons was observed from radial (In one case the rupture originated medially and in one case it originated centrally and extended simultaneously medially and laterally.
