The supracondylar process of the humerus is a rare skeletal anomaly, which is usually an incidental finding while an X-ray is done for some other purpose. The process can fracture resulting in pain and tender mobile swelling over the medial aspect of the arm, and consequent neurovascular symptoms, or entrapment neuropathies. The anomaly, which fractured in a clinical situation, is described, followed by a review of the literature.
肱骨髁上突是一种罕见的骨骼异常，通常是在因其他目的进行X线检查时偶然发现的。该突起可能会骨折，导致手臂内侧疼痛、压痛性活动肿胀，以及随之而来的神经血管症状或卡压性神经病变。本文描述了在临床情况下发生骨折的这种异常情况，随后对相关文献进行了综述。
