Abstract
CASE:: In this report, we present the case of a patient undergoing en-bloc resection of a large triceps soft-tissue sarcoma, requiring reconstruction of the triceps tendon including its distal insertion. We describe a surgical technique using fascia lata (FL) autograft to reconstruct the patientʼs extensor mechanism with long-term follow-up and functional results. CONCLUSIONS:: FL autograft is a viable option for reconstruction of large tendinous defects. It is simple and straightforward to harvest, inexpensive when compared with alternatives, with many potential applications.
