The medial epicondyle of the humerus is an epicondyle of the humerus bone of the upper arm in humans. It is larger and more prominent than the lateral epicondyle and is directed slightly more posteriorly in the anatomical position.

2023年10月30日 · The medial epicondyle is a bony projection found at the distal end of the medial supracondylar ridge of the humerus. It is larger than its lateral counterpart and acts as an important attachment site for muscles and ligaments of the forearm.

2023年10月30日 · The medial epicondyle is a blunt projection superomedial to the medial condyle, which forms at the end of the medial border of the humerus. The ulnar nerve crosses its smooth posterior surface and is palpable in this location.

The medial epicondyle (internal epicondyle) of humerus is the subcutaneous projection found at the distal end of the medial supracondylar ridge. It is more prominent than the lateral epicondyle of the humerus. The medial epicondyle contains the groove for ulnar nerve.

2020年12月13日 · Medial Epicondyle of Humerus. The structure indicated is the medial epicondyle of the humerus. The distal end of the humerus consists of several features: Condyle, consisting of the capitulum and trochlea; Medial and lateral epicondyles; Medial and lateral supracondylar ridges; Radial fossa, coronoid fossa, olecranon fossa

2025年1月17日 · The medial epicondyle is located on the inner aspect of the humerus bone, just above the elbow joint, while the lateral epicondyle is located on the outer aspect of the humerus bone, just above the elbow joint.

Medial Epicondyle – Toward the distal end of the humerus, you can see how it fans out into a left and right knobby structure. The prefix “epi” tells us that this structure is upon or over, and condyle refers to the rounded protuberances known as the capitulum and trochlea.

The medial epicondyle, larger and more prominent than the lateral, is directed a little backward; it gives attachment to the ulnar collateral ligament of the elbow-joint, to the Pronator teres, and to a common tendon of origin of some of the Flexor muscles of the forearm; the ulnar nerve runs in a groove on the back of this epicondyle.

2018年8月8日 · The medial epicondyle creates a prominent, blunt protuberance on the medial side of the condyle and it, is the point where the medial border of the humerus terminates by curving marginally towards the back. Specifically in passive flexion of the elbow, it is subcutaneous and generally noticeable.

The medial epicondyle of the distal humerus is an easily palpable process that provides an attachment point for the ulnar collateral ligament, which contributes to the elbow joint. It is also an attachment point for the pronator teres, a muscle used to pronate the forearm.
