Dislocation of the medial triceps belly (Snapping triceps)
Keywords:
Snapping triceps, ulnar nerve, elbow.Abstract
The dislocation of the medial belly of the triceps is a rare occurrence that occurs on the medial epicondyle during active flexion of this over the elbow and is often associated with an instability of the ulnar nerve, causing symptoms of compression of this nerve.
