Title: Triceps tears
Post by: MarvinEderFan on December 01, 2023, 11:44:09 PM
A sports medicine physician/ortho told me that when dealing with triceps tears surgery is only needed for the distal tears (near elbow) and never for the proximal ones (mid way up or near armpit).
Any experience with this? Any professionals/patients with insight?

It is not that I doubt him. Guy repairs athletes for a living. Just looking to learn.

You mean he's right about only distal (elbow) tears requiring surgery, not the ones further up?

Sorry if this is a stupid question but how does the body "know" how to heal it up? If fibres were torn to some extent.

It depends on what is torn muscle or tendons a torn muscle belly is like hamburger meat and can not be sewn back together. A torn or detached tendon can be reattached. I have a torn muscle belly in my pec the tendon is intact as such there is nothing, they can do for it. When I sheared my right triceps tendon off the bone, they reattached it at the elbow.

Doesn`t matter you know jsackshit....you`d never beat me.....I simply wouldn`t allow you  to  do  so.

I showed you pics of me beating guys bigger and better than you that would have crushed you.......photograthical proof.......what more do you need besides a new pair of glasses?


I`d hit three poses and you`d be sweeping up the stage after the contest.

GO GET YOUR SHINEBOX BROOM BITCH !  ;D

I had a very slight tear once (20 yrs ago or so) in a tricep muscle (fibers) where it turned black/blue. (Helping someone move)
Doc looked and said it would heal on its own, and it did. It was in the middle of the muscle, and nowhere near a tendon/attachment.
Been fine ever since.

I don`t know about you  GR,but I`m assuming since you are certainly no dummy,that as you have gotten older that you more than likely do many or at least much more warm up sets than you did when you were younger.

It helps bigtime......I still go as heavy as I can for the reps I`m gunning for,but I make damn sure I do plenty of specific warm up sets first.

BYW,you are looking great brother......NO HOMO.  ;)

BTW,I`ll show a current pic with a "full belly",if you show me one of you first.........I`ll wait,but hurry cuz I`m not getting any younger,just better looking by the hour.

Wes, thank you... Yup, these days I stretch, use bands, do more light sets, etc.
Back in the day it would be one light set, and off we go..

I have been lucky in 45 yrs of training (injury wise) except for the last 2 yrs. Hoping its behind me.
My back issues are not training related, so I dont count those. (Slight curve at base of spine causes disc herniation, nerve pinching, etc.).
Even as a kid, so not related to training, just flares up when I do something stupid... Mainly my shoulder (only) is a life-long injury related thing.
I also remember doing damage early on as a kid, trying to throw as hard as possible for baseball. (So I may have fucked it up royally there instead).

All my issues can be non-training related. It just happens to aggravate them on occasion...

Cool !!

Weirdly enough as I`m sure you know,we can train hard and heavy for eons then move a couch for a friend or sommthing and tear a bicep.....I guess we`ve both been pretty lucky for the time we have put in .....that`s for sure.

I`ve been very lucky myself having trained as heavy as possible (way too heavy with shitty form when I was younger and dumber) with my slight frame.........only real downside is my three bulging discs and slight arthritis in my neck and lower back.

Other than that I`ve had little tweaks of course but nothing ever too serious.

Train hard  but always be careful my friend!  ;)

This is the scar from my reattachment. I hid a lot of the scar with the tattoo but you can see the surgical scar on the elbow and heading up the tricep behind the tattoo it was a complete detachment. I hit the elbow hard on a brick wall and it sheared the tricep right off the bone.

Again, it is based on what is torn not where. If your tendon detaches from the shoulder or elbow, they can reattach it. If it is just the muscle, there isn't shit they can do no matter where the tear. I have been through this with multiple orthopedic surgeons. Think of torn muscle fiber like hamburger meat you can not sew it back together
Title: Re: Triceps tears
Post by: MarvinEderFan on December 03, 2023, 03:32:27 AM
The ortho I mentioned specifically said it is the distal (elbow) ones that may require surgery.

You mention shoulders as well.
I can't find a single vid on YT showing surgery for a shoulder triceps tear. Numerous ones for elbow however.

Again you keep saying tricep tear but is it your tricep or tricep tendon that is torn huge difference. Tendons attach to bones muscle attach to tendons. Did the muscle tear off the tendon. Did your tendon tear in half. Did the tendon disconnect from the bone. Or is tendon and muscle tendon attachment intact and the tear is in the belly of the muscle all very different things
