title: Supracondylar process of the humerus: four cases.
abstract: Four cases of supracondylar process of the humerus are presented. Two of the patients were asymptomatic and in one of these the supracondylar process was fractured. In a third there was median nerve compression and in the last there was ulnar nerve entrapment. The anatomical features, clinical symptoms and therapy are described. Good results were obtained after resection of the supracondylar process; neurological symptoms regressed one month after surgery.
