Abstract
Treatment of apersistently painful snapping triceps and possibly snapping ulnar nerve. Snapping triceps. General surgical risks. Following the anterior transposition of the ulnar nerve (subcutaneously or submuscular), the snapping portion of the triceps tendon is transsected and reinforced, and transposition of the medial triceps margin into the central triceps portion is carried out. Cast for 5-7days; for atotal of 6weeks functional exercise without maximum flexion and resistance exercise of the triceps. Weight loading after 3months. In the case presented, complaints were absent after 3months. Full load exercise, e.g., push-ups, was achieved 4months after surgery. There was no recurrent snapping within the first year. The results of this case are in agreement with the 25patients previously reported in the PubMed literature. Recurrence, gross restrictions of movement, and complications were not observed in patients who underwent surgery.
