Background: Snapping triceps is a dynamic condition in which a portion of the medial head of the triceps dislocates over the medial epicondyle during flexion or extension. Pushed by the triceps, the ulnar nerve typically also dislocates over the medial epicondyle, causing neuropathy. Posttraumatic cubitus varus deformities resulting from pediatric supracondylar fractures have been associated with snapping triceps.

Snapping triceps syndrome is a rare cause of medial elbow pain and ulnar neuritis caused by subluxation and triggering of the medial tricipital muscle belly over the medial distal humeral ridge and condyle. The diagnosis and surgical management of snapping triceps syndrome can be challenging due to the subtlety of the symptoms and the infrequent presentation. Despite the diagnosis relying largely on clinical examination, noninvasive dynamic ultrasonography may facilitate detection.
