What is the raised area of the condyle?
Medial Epicondlye
What is the insertion of the extensor carpi ulnaris muscle?
Medial epicondyle of humerus and ulna <3
When explaining lateral and medial position what direction must the body be in?
Any explanation always starts with the body in anatomical position. The hands/forearms are supine (palm facing up like you're holding a cup of soup). This would make the pinky (and ulnar bone) medial with the thumb (and radius bone) lateral. At the elbow joint there is a lateral and medial epicondyle (a projection of the humerus where the forearm extensor and flexor muscles attach respectively). For lateral and medial positions this only really affects the forearm/hand since everything else is straightforward.
What is the most lateral distal part of the humerus?
Lateral epicondyle of the humerus.
Is the medial epicondyle adjacent to trochlea?
The medial epicondyle (on the humerus) is located closet to the body when in the anatomical position and the trochlea (on the humerus) is located slightly laterally and inferior to the medial epicondyle.
What part of the body is the medical epicondyle?
I think you are asking about the medial epicondyle not the medical epicondyle. The medial epicondyle is a small bony bump on the end of the humerus kind of making the elbow joint
What is golfers elbow?
Swelling at the Medial Epicondyle
What is the difference between and a avulsion fracture and a fracture?
An avulsion fracture is when you pull a ligament or tendon from a bone and a piece of that bone comes with it. It is not actually a "fracture". A fracture is a break.
An avulsion is what kind of injury?
A fracture
What structure on the humerus is most medial?
The medial epicondyle is the most medial structure of the humerus. The trochlea is the second.
Where do the flexors of the wrist originate?
Medial epicondyle of the humerus.
What is the raised area of the condyle?
Medial Epicondlye
What do the muscles that attach to the medial epicondyle control?
They control the elbow.
What is the distal medial process of the humerus?
The trochlea is the medial process of the humerus. The humerus articulates with the ulna at the trochlea.
Which nerve runs in proximity to the medial epicondyle of the humerus?
ulnar nerve
What is a chip-fracture?
fracture involving the presence of an isolated bone fragment. This is also frequently called an avulsion fracture.
