A small bony protrusion on the anterior aspect of the distal humerus pointing towards the elbow joint, inferring a supracondylar spur.
Case Discussion
The supracondylar spur is an anatomical variant, typically located on the anteromedial humeral cortex, 5 cm proximal to and pointing towards the medial epicondyle of the humerus. Most patients are asymptomatic, although it can result in compression of the median nerve or the brachial artery.
