Abstract
|
|
|
|
Snapping triceps syndrome is a rare disease in which medial head of triceps dislocates over the medial epicondyle during elbow flexion. It is difficult to diagnose the snapping triceps syndrome, because that this syndrome is frequently misdiagnosed as other elbow disease such as ulnarnerve dislocation. The dynamic ultrasonographic imaging allows continual visualization of the ulnar nerve and triceps muscle throughout active elbow flexion and extension. We report two patients of snapping triceps syndrome who were diagnosed with the use of dynamic ultrasonography and treated with ulnar nerve anterior transposition and repositioning or resectioning of medial head of triceps.
