Fig. 6.

When the triceps distal insertion extends medially it may predispose to elbow snapping. In this intra-operative image of a left elbow, we observe exposure of the ulnar nerve and release of the medial extension of the triceps which can be removed or flipped on its long axis and reinserted to the native triceps. This will remove the snapping generated by the triceps. The ulnar nerve usually needs an anterior subcutaneous transposition at the end of the procedure to prevent snapping from the ulnar nerve over the medial epicondyle.
