A lateral epicondyle enthesophyte is a bony projection that forms at the attachment site of tendons in the lateral epicondyle of the elbow. It can develop as a result of repetitive stress or chronic injury to the tendons in that area, such as in cases of lateral epicondylitis or "tennis elbow." This bony growth can contribute to pain and limited range of motion in the elbow joint.
What else can I help you with?
What is the most lateral distal part of the humerus?
Lateral epicondyle of the humerus.
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 structure on the humerus is most medial?
The medial epicondyle is the most medial structure of the humerus. The trochlea is the second.
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 directly lateral to the mediastinum?
The lungs are directly lateral to the mediastinum.
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 most lateral distal part of the humerus?
Lateral epicondyle of the humerus.
The extrinsic muscles of the hand orignate on the?
lateral epicondyle of the humerus
What is epicondyles?
Eminence superior to a Condyle (e.g., the lateral epicondyle of the humerus)
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.
What CPT code do you use for a Kenalog injection of the lateral epicondyle for epicondylitis?
The CPT code typically used for a Kenalog injection for epicondylitis at the lateral epicondyle is CPT code 20551, which is for an injection of a tendon sheath, ligament, or ganglion cyst.
The extrinsic muscles of the hand originate where?
The extrensic muscles of the hand originate from the lateral epicondyle of the humerous
Can the most lateral part of the humerus be felt through the skin?
Yes, the most lateral epicondyle, the most lateral part of the humerus, can be felt through the skin. It's the bump at the elbow on the thumb side.
Extensors of the wrist and hand a. are located within the posterior compartment of the forearm b. attach to the lateral epicondyle of the humerus c. pass through the carpal tunnel d. a and b?
d. a and b The extensors of the wrist and hand are located within the posterior compartment of the forearm and attach to the lateral epicondyle of the humerus. They do not pass through the carpal tunnel.
What landmarks would you use to measure a femur and tibia?
The femur extends from the hip to the patella. So measure from your hip to the knee. The tibia extends from the patella to the ankle. So measure from the knee to the "ankle bone".
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
Sites of muscle attachment on the proximal femur?
The proximal femur contains several important sites of muscle attachment, including the greater trochanter, lesser trochanter, linea aspera, and medial and lateral epicondyles. These sites serve as points where muscles, tendons, and ligaments attach to the femur to allow for movement and stability of the hip joint.
