case_images: A supracondylar process was found on X-ray images and computed tomography (Figure 1A and 1B).
case_images: (A) Medial approach reveals the supracondylar process (green arrow) with attached ligament of Struthers (red arrow). The size of the removed bone spur was about 11 mm. (B) The median nerve (blue arrow) passes deep to the ligament of Struthers (red arrow) and is impinged by the supracondylar process.

case_images: The supracondylar process, which was 11 mm in length and 6 cm above the medial epicondyle, was exposed through a medial approach (Figure 2A). The ligament of Struthers connected the supracondylar process and medial epicondyle, and the median nerve passed under the ligament of Struthers (Figure 2B).

case_images: Supracondylar process is seen on simple X-ray anteroposterior and lateral (lat) radiographs.

case_images: f3-jpr-11-803
case_images: X-ray imaging showed a supracondylar process located 5 cm proximal to the medial epicondyle (Figure 3).
case_images: (A) Medial approach reveals supracondylar process (black arrow) with attached ligament of Struthers. The size of the removed bone spur was about 15 mm. (B) The ulnar nerve (asterisk) is not affected by the ligament. The median nerve (blue arrow) passes deep to the ligament and is entrapped by the supracondylar process (green arrow).

case_images: f4-jpr-11-803
case_images: The supracondylar process, which was 15 mm in length and 6 cm above the medial epicondyle, was exposed through a medial approach (Figure 4A). The ulnar nerve was not affected (Figure 4B).
