Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated extensor tendinopathy and thickening of the radial collateral ligament. Ultrasonography showed entrapment of a synovial fold in the radiohumeral joint. Initial arthroscopic debridement did not alleviate the snapping. Three months later, the patient underwent open excision of a thickened and partially torn annular ligament; subsequently, all of the symptoms resolved.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Snapping elbow is a phenomenon that often coincides with pain and limited function.
