Extensor carpi radialis longus arises from the lateral epicondylar ridge of the humerus and inserts onto the second metacarpal bone. |
|
The retroversion of the humerus was then measured as the angle between the collum humeri axis and the epicondylar axis. |
|
The humerus is becoming less rounded and more triangular in appearance due to the development of the lateral epicondylar ridge and medial epicondyle. |
|
The epicondyles were palpated to identify the epicondylar axis. |
|
When using reduction forceps, care must be taken to prevent comminuting the medial epicondylar fragment. |
