title: Accessory ossicles in the elbow.
abstract: Accessory ossicles in the elbow are often diagnosed as osteochondritis dissecans or chondromatosis, but no terminologic agreements seem to exist in the literature. Our study of 5 patients suggests that accessory ossicles in the fossa olecrani or coronoidea may represent anatomic variants, perhaps best described as os supratrochleare anterius and posterius, respectively.
