The olecranon osteotomy is accepted as the standard exposure for intra-articular distal humerus fractures; nevertheless, complications such as nonunion and implant prominence are common. In this article, we describe the clinical outcomes and anatomic features of the triceps tenotomy as an alternative method of exposure for internal fixation of intra-articular distal humerus fractures. The olecranon osteotomy approach affords greater exposure of the distal humerus articular surface; however, there was no difference in quality of fracture reduction, progression to fracture union, posttraumatic arthrosis, or implant failure between approaches in our series. The osteotomy approach resulted in a greater need for reoperation (15% vs. 46%, respectively); largely as a result of olecranon implant-related complications. In summary, the triceps tenotomy offers an alternative exposure for intra-articular distal humerus fracture fixation with comparable clinical outcomes to the olecranon osteotomy technique.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1097\/bot.0000000000002103","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,26]],"date-time":"2021-06-26T11:00:39Z","timestamp":1624705239000},"page":"e511-e516","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Triceps Tenotomy as an Alternative Exposure for Fixation of OTA\/AO 13-C Fractures: A Technical Trick"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"35","author":[{"given":"Aaron R.","family":"Owen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"David V.","family":"Ivanov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jonathan D.","family":"Barlow","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michael E.","family":"Torchia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Brandon J.","family":"Yuan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-20250614","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"85","DOI":"10.1016\/S1058-2746(99)90063-0","article-title":"Complex fractures of the distal humerus and their complications","volume":"8","author":"Ring","year":"1999","journal-title":"J Shoulder Elbow Surg."},{"key":"R2-20250614","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"20","DOI":"10.5435\/00124635-201001000-00004","article-title":"Current treatment strategies for bicolumnar distal humerus fractures","volume":"18","author":"Galano","year":"2010","journal-title":"J Am Acad Orthop Surg."},{"key":"R3-20250614","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1381","DOI":"10.1016\/j.injury.2018.06.018","article-title":"Surgical approaches for open reduction and internal fixation of intra-articular distal humerus fractures in adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis","volume":"49","author":"Sharma","year":"2018","journal-title":"Injury"},{"key":"R4-20250614","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"669","DOI":"10.2106\/00004623-198668050-00005","article-title":"Results of delayed excision of the radial head after fracture","volume":"68","author":"Broberg","year":"1986","journal-title":"J Bone Joint Surg Am"},{"issue":"suppl 1","key":"R5-20250614","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"S1","DOI":"10.1097\/BOT.0000000000001063","article-title":"Fracture and dislocation classification compendium-2018","volume":"32","author":"Meinberg","year":"2018","journal-title":"J Orthop Trauma"},{"key":"R6-20250614","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"325","DOI":"10.5435\/00124635-200905000-00007","article-title":"Surgical approaches to the elbow","volume":"17","author":"Cheung","year":"2009","journal-title":"J Am Acad Orthop Surg."},{"key":"R7-20250614","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1701","DOI":"10.2106\/00004623-200012000-00003","article-title":"Functional outcome following surgical treatment of intra-articular distal humeral fractures through a posterior approach","volume":"82A","author":"McKee","year":"2000","journal-title":"J Bone Joint Surg Am."},{"key":"R8-20250614","first-page":"278","article-title":"Surgical approach in supracondylar \u201cT\u201d fractures of the humerus requiring open reduction","volume":"22","author":"Van Gorder","year":"1940","journal-title":"J Bone Joint Surg."},{"key":"R9-20250614","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"91","DOI":"10.1016\/S0030-5898(05)70130-9","article-title":"The triceps-reflecting anconeus pedicle (TRAP) approach for distal humeral fractures and nonunions","volume":"31","author":"O'Driscoll","year":"2000","journal-title":"Orthop Clin N.
