A study of Supracondylar Spur : Clinical correlations with entrapment syndromes
Journal Title: International Journal of Biomedical and Advance Research - Year 2017, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
Objectives : Supracondylar spur is a rare skeletal variation first described by Struthers. He also mentions a ligament from this spur to medial epicondyle of humerus. Entrapment syndromes have been noted due to this spur and ligament. Material and methods : 60 dry humerus bones have been observed for any additional spur ,tubercle or foramen in the supracondylar regionResults : 5(8.3%) humerus bones showed variation. Supracondylar tubercle was seen in 2 humerus. Two humerus showed oblong supracondylar foramen. An elongated supracondylar spur was seen in one humerus. Conclusion: Supracondylar tubercle, spur and foramen have an evolutionary significance.The proximity to the median nerve and brachial artery make it a possible differential diagnosis in compression neuropathy cases. Key words : Ligament of Struthers , Supracondylar spur, Median nerve entrapment syndromes, Oblong supracondylar foramen and Latissimo-condyloideus
