Due to the limited literature, snapping annular ligament is often misdiagnosed as lateral epicondylitis.

We present a 37-year-old male with left lateral elbow pain and clicking for 5 years. MRI of the elbow revealed hypertrophy of the annular ligament with associated lateral epicondylitis. After failing conservative management, the patient underwent open resection of the hypertrophied annular ligament in addition to lateral epicondylitis surgery. The patient demonstrated complete relief of symptoms. Our aim is to increase the nurse's and hand surgeon's awareness of hypertrophy of the annular ligament as an uncommon cause of lateral elbow snapping and pain.
