Olympic Elbow Comprising Lateral Epicondylitis, Cubital Tunnel Syndrome, and Distal Biceps Tendon Rupture

There is a wide range of elbow injuries including chronic injuries such as lateral epicondylitis, medial epicondylitis, and cubital tunnel syndrome, or acute injuries such as elbow fracture-dislocations and distal biceps tendon ruptures. Combinations of acute and chronic elbow injuries have been reported including country club elbow and terrible triad of the elbow which are important to identify to properly treat. Thus, we report for the first time a new elbow injury triad termed Olympic elbow in a 65-year-old man comprising lateral epicondylitis, cubital tunnel syndrome, and a distal biceps tendon rupture. After initially failing conservative management, the patient was successfully treated with surgery and has returned to full physical activity at four and a half years postoperatively.
