Abstract

<p>Physical and radiographic examinations of a spayed 14-year-oid toy-poodle, which had lameness in a forelimb after a fall, led to a diagnosis of avulsion of the triceps tendon insertion. A modified 3-loop pulley suture pattern was used for a reduction surgery at an early stage of the injury, and postoperative recovery was favorable. In contrast to previously reported chronic cases, contracture of the triceps and fibrosis of the stump were not observed. Thus, some differences were identified, and recovery time was shorter in this case. Therefore, early diagnosis and treatment are considered important in a case of avulsion of the triceps tendon insertion. </p>
