The cause of painful snapping on the medial, or inner side, of the elbow can be difficult to identify. Possible causes include snapping of the medial triceps and dislocation of the ulnar nerve.

Ultrasound imaging of the musculoskeletal system is a very powerful, cost-effective way to diagnose and treat a large variety of conditions.
