Abstract

On pictures of the elbow joint for injuries, pains and other complaints, sometimes formations of various sizes and shapes of the bone structure are found. Among these formations, the so-called accessory or supernumerary bones of the elbow joint are relatively rare. Despite their rarity, these bones are of theoretical interest from the point of view of their phylogenesis, and are also of practical importance, since their owners turn to surgical and orthopedic institutions with complaints of inconveniences and difficulties in their work, demanding release and transfer to other jobs. ... These formations are also not devoid of forensic medical interest, since they are mixed with separation and fracture of the bone. In Russian literature, we managed to find one work of Feinberg, describing 3 cases of accessory bones in the elbow joint. Somewhat more often we find reports about them in foreign literature.
