Sports Medicine
Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

Snapping triceps syndrome (STS) is a rare condition.
Bilateral occurrence is exceptionally rare, often involving ulnar nerve dislocation.
No prior reports exist for bilateral STS in young, active individuals.

Observation:

A 23-year-old male reported bilateral medial elbow discomfort and snapping during exertion.
Physical exam revealed two distinct, audible, and palpable snaps.
Dynamic ultrasonography confirmed anterior dislocation of the ulnar nerve and medial triceps head over the medial epicondyle during flexion.

Findings:

The patient was diagnosed with bilateral snapping triceps syndrome and ulnar nerve dislocation.
Surgical intervention included ulnar nerve transposition and partial triceps resection.
Immediate resolution of pain and snapping symptoms post-surgery.

Implications:

STS should be considered in young, active patients with medial elbow snapping and pain.
Dynamic sonography is crucial for diagnosing STS and differentiating it from isolated ulnar nerve dislocation.
Surgical management offers effective relief and return to activity.
