Length ratios of the distal triceps tendon: an anatomical study for the assessment of tendon length in chronic defect situations
This study demonstrates that the lateral aponeurosis length correlates strongly with UL length, making it a particularly reliable reference for estimating the physiological triceps length in chronic defect situations. These findings provide an important anatomical basis for achieving precise triceps length restoration, which is essential for optimal clinical outcomes in reconstructive surgery.
