The medial
epicondyle is a bony protrusion that can be felt on the inside part of the elbow. Part of the upper arm bone, orhumerus, it occurs at the bottom of the bone where the humerus meets theulnaat the elbow. It is larger and further back on the bone than its counterpart --- the lateral epicondyle
. The medial epicondyle
provides attachment of the ulnarcollateralligamentto the pronator teres muscle, near the back of the elbow. When theulnar nervethat runs along the back of this bone is hit, it is frequently referred to as hitting the funny bone.
Like many bones in the body, the medial
epicondyle may be rarely thought about until it is involved in an injury. Fracture of the medial
epicondyle represents the third most common elbow fracture in children, especially those 9 to 14 years old. In children and adolescents, the growth plate between the humerus and the ulna is made of cartilage cells that are softer and more susceptible to trauma than fully formed, mature bone. It is possible in extreme injuries for the growth plate to tear from the connection with the bone, resulting in an convulsion fracture.

What is an epicondyle?
An epicondyle is a bony lump located on the outside of the humerus bone near the elbow joint. It serves as a point of attachment for muscles and ligaments that help stabilize and move the elbow joint. The two main epicondyles are the medial epicondyle on the inner side and the lateral epicondyle on the outer side 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 is the difference between the elbow condyle and epicondyle in terms of their anatomical structure and function?
The elbow condyle is the rounded prominence at the end of the humerus bone, while the epicondyle is a bony projection above the condyle. The condyle helps with joint movement, while the epicondyle serves as an attachment point for muscles and ligaments.
What is a bone marking name that indicates a projection that helps to form a joint meatus ramus foramen fossa epicondyle?
Ramus.
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 the difference between the lateral and medial epicondyle in terms of their anatomical location and function?
The lateral epicondyle is located on the outer side of the elbow, while the medial epicondyle is on the inner side. The lateral epicondyle is where the muscles that extend the wrist and fingers attach, while the medial epicondyle is where the muscles that flex the wrist and fingers attach.
What is the insertion of the extensor carpi ulnaris muscle?
Medial epicondyle of humerus and ulna <3
Are The forearm extensors arise primarily from the medial epicondyle?
No, the forearm extensors primarily arise from the lateral epicondyle of the humerus, not the medial epicondyle. The medial epicondyle is the origin for the forearm flexors. The extensors are responsible for extending the wrist and fingers, and their tendons run along the posterior side of the forearm.
What is an Avulsion fracture of medial epicondyle?
An avulsion fracture of the medial epicondyle occurs when a tendon or ligament pulls off a small piece of bone where it attaches at the inner part of the elbow. This type of fracture is common in young athletes, especially in sports that involve overhead throwing motions. Treatment may involve rest, ice, immobilization, and physical therapy. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to reattach the fractured bone fragment.
