Struthers , which joins the anomalous bony process and the medial epicondyle. Clinically, this condition typically affects young sportsmen as a result of intense muscular activity in the elbow and forearm and may start with pain and numbness in the first three fingers and weakness of forearm muscles innervated by the median nerve (Sener et al. 1998). US can demonstrate the relationship of the median nerve with the anomalous bone and ligament. Although not yet reported in the radiological literature, displacement of the nerve by these structures may represent an indicator of entrapment. Therapy includes excision of the ligament of Struthers and ablation of the supracondylar process. The brachial artery can also be compressed by an anomalous insertion of the pronator teres muscle into the supracondylar process (Talha et al. 1987).
