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 anomaly, which fractured in a clinical situation, is described, followed by a review of the literature.
