Fracture of Supracondylar Process of the Humerus
Journal Title: Sultan Qaboos University Medical Journal - Year 2008, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
Te supracondylar process of the humerus is a rare skeletal anomaly, which is usually an incidental finding while an Xray is done for some other purpose. Te process can fracture resulting in pain and tender mobile swelling over the medial aspect of the arm, and consequent neurovascular symptoms, or entrapment neuropathies. Te anomaly, which fractured in a clinical situation, is described, followed by a review of the literature.
