Should the triceps be released during total elbow arthroplasty?
For total elbow arthroplasty, triceps options include the reflect, para-tricipital, split or tongue approach. The ideal approach provides adequate exposure enabling optimal placement of implants while minimizing soft-tissue disruption, additional injuries and complications. While dividing the triceps is seemingly risky, it is the ideal approach for total elbow arthroplasty.
