Abstract
Reports of subluxation of the medial head of the triceps tendon over the medial epicondyle are rare. This may be associated with symptomatic ulnar nerve compression at the elbow. We report a case of bilateral snapping triceps tendon after bilateral ulnar nerve release at the elbow with anterior submuscular transposition. Careful inspection of the triceps tendon in flexion and extension at the time of the ulnar nerve submuscular transposition may prevent this potential complication.
