【 摘 要 】

The triceps muscle, as indicated by its name, includes three heads. The long head originates from the infraglenoid tubercle of the scapula, while the medial and lateral heads originate from the proximal humerus. These three heads join together at elbow level and attach to the olecranon to form one of the strongest tendons in the body. It covers the whole posterior aspect of the arm, and its rupture is very rare.
