Left supracondylar spur pointing towards the elbow joint in the typical location (anteromedial humeral) ~2" above the medial epicondyle. No fracture or periosteal reaction noted.
Case Discussion
This supracondylar spur is considered a normal variant and should not be mistaken for a cartilaginous capped exostosis. Patient symptoms can be due to median nerve or brachial artery compression.
