- Abstract
We treated a 64-year-old female with bilateral painful snapping elbows due to synovial folds. Resection of the bilateral synovial folds resulted in relief from pain and snapping, and resulted in patient satisfaction. Daily dumbbell exercises of the bilateral elbows starting at an elderly age may have led to the bilateral snapping. Painful snapping elbow is a relatively rare condition, which usually occurs in a unilateral elbow of a younger patient. To our knowledge, bilateral painful snapping elbows triggered by daily dumbbell exercises in older patients have not been previously reported.
