Supracondyloid process and anomalous insertion of pronator teres as sources of median nerve neuralgia.
A case of median nerve entrapment at the elbow between the supracondyloid process and the anomalous origin of the pronator teres on it is presented. The anatomical variant and the histological background of this syndrome are outlined. The pathophysiology of the neuralgia is discussed. A relatively simple surgical procedure afforded complete relief of symptoms.
