Supracondylar Process of the Humerus
Journal Title: Radiology and Molecular Imaging - Year 2024, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
The supracondylar process is a congenital bony prominence located on the anteromedial aspect of the distal humerus. Struthers ligament is a fibrous (occasionally ossified) ligament that extends from the distal end of the supracondylar process to the medial epicondyle. This anatomical feature is typically asymptomatic but may infrequently lead to entrapment syndromes due to compression of nearby arteriovenous structures. This article presents the clinical and radiological findings, along with diagnostic clues, of a supracondylar protrusion incidentally detected in a 14-year-old patient, in conjunction with relevant literature.
