An unusual case of median nerve compression with ipsilateral supracondylar process
نویسندگان
چکیده
The supracondylar process is a beak-like bony projection that arises from the anteromedial surface of the humerus. The process has rarely been associated with compression of the median nerve and seldom requires treatment. We report a case of a supracondylar process that caused tenting of the median nerve with elbow extension and pronation.

Sometimes struther ligament or spur or both of them are the rare cause of entrapment syndrome of the median nerve. Struther ligament or spur can compress ulnar nerve and/or brachial artery. These cases may have median ulnar ner...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to determine the frequency and anatomical characteristics of Struthers' ligament and the supracondylar humeral process and evaluate the clinical implications in compressive neuropathy of the median nerve . METHOD We dissected 60 arms from 30 cadavers (26 males and 4 females): 15 were previously preserved in formalin and glycerin and 15 were dissected ...
متن کاملSupracondylar process of the humerus.
Four cases of supracondylar process of the humerus in three patients are presented. The main features of a supracondylar process as compared with an osteochondroma are reviewed. The three patients had pain and one had signs indicating median nerve compression. One had a supracondylar process together with an osteochondroma in the contralateral supracondylar region. One patient with a bilateral ...
متن کاملIpsilateral supracondylar fracture and forearm bone injury in children: a retrospective review of thirty one cases.
BACKGROUND Pediatric supracondylar fracture and forearm bone fracture is common in isolation but combined supracondylar fracture with ipsilateral forearm bone fracture, known as floating elbow is not common injury. The incidence of this association varies between 3% and 13%. Since the injury is rare and only limited literatures are available, choosing best management options for floating elbow ...
