  2. Medial epicondyle fracture of the humerus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medial_epicondyle_fracture...

    Medial epicondyle fractures account for 10% elbow fractures in children. 25% of injuries are associated with a dislocation of the elbow. Medial epicondyle fractures are typically seen in children and usually occur as a result of a fall onto an out-stretched hand. This often happen from falls from a scooter, roller skates, or monkey bars, as ...

    An epicondyle (/ ɛ p ɪ ˈ k ɒ n d aɪ l /) is a rounded eminence on a bone that lies upon a condyle (epi-, "upon" + condyle, from a root meaning "knuckle" or "rounded articular area"). There are various epicondyles in the human skeleton , each named by its anatomic site.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supracondylar_humerus_fracture

    A supracondylar humerus fracture is a fracture of the distal humerus just above the elbow joint. The fracture is usually transverse or oblique and above the medial and lateral condyles and epicondyles. This fracture pattern is relatively rare in adults, but is the most common type of elbow fracture in children. [1]

  6. Humerus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humerus

    The lateral epicondyle is a small, tuberculated eminence, curved a little forward, and giving attachment to the radial collateral ligament of the elbow-joint, and to a tendon common to the origin of the supinator and some of the extensor muscles. The medial epicondyle, larger and more prominent than the lateral, is directed a little backward ...

    The medial epicondyle protects the ulnar nerve, which runs in a groove on the back of this epicondyle. The ulnar nerve is vulnerable because it passes close to the surface along the back of the bone. Striking the medial epicondyle causes a tingling sensation in the ulnar nerve. This response is known as striking the "funny bone". [1]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubitus_varus

    Instances in which the medial epicondyle of the distal humerus is malformed due to the initial fracture at the humeral endplate may result in subluxation (snapping) of the ulnar nerve over the medial epicondyle with active flexion and extension of the elbow.

  9. Medial epicondyle of the femur - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medial_epicondyle_of_the_femur

    The medial epicondyle of the femur is an epicondyle, a bony protrusion, located on the medial side of the femur at its distal end. Located above the medial condyle , it bears an elevation, the adductor tubercle , [ 1 ] which serves for the attachment of the superficial part, or "tendinous insertion", of the adductor magnus .
