Abstract
|
|
|
|
Snapping triceps syndrome is a rare disease in which the distal portion of the medial triceps dislocates over the medial epicondyle during flexion of the elbow. It is usually accompanied with ulnar nerve dislocation and double snapping is clinically important feature. Dynamic ultrasonography is useful diagnostic tool for snapping triceps syndrome and ulnar nerve dislocation. But it is often misdiagnosed as ulnar nerve dislocation alone. This review reports a case of 28-year-old professional golfer who had a single snapping on elbow, misdiagnosed as ulnar nerve dislocation alone and eventually diagnosed as ulnar nerve dislocation and snapping triceps syndrome and also reflects factors that are overlooked through first and second operations.
