Core Tip	Triceps tendon rupture is uncommon elbow injury that is usually associated with high-energy trauma. We report the case of a 37-year-old man who sustained a near-complete distal triceps tendon rupture following a low-speed motorcycle accident. Diagnosis was established through clinical assessment and magnetic resonance imaging. The patient underwent surgical repair using a Krackow suture technique with suture anchor fixation, followed by a structured rehabilitation program. At six months, he achieved full pain-free range of motion and complete recovery of elbow extension strength. This case emphasizes the need to consider triceps tendon rupture even after low-mechanism injuries.
