Identify by palpation and surface mark with a pen, the Lateral Epicondyle of the Humerus on a model in the anatomical position with side lighting and a time limit of 15 seconds.
Objective No 8 - Criteria to be demonstrated. 1. Flex the Elbow joint to a right angle. 2. Apply firm pressure with the tip of the palpating index finger to the midpoint of the arm on the lateral surface. 3. At this midpoint on the lateral surface of the arm the mid shaft of the Humerus can be palpated under the skin. 4. From this point palpate downwards on the lateral surface of the arm towards the Elbow region. 5. On the Lateral surface of the lower one third of the arm , a bony ridge begins to become distinct under the palpating finger tip. 6. This distinct bony ridge is the Lateral Supracondylar Ridge of the Humerus. 7. Continued palpation down this ridge leads directly to the lateral margin of the Lateral Epicondyle of Humerus and its posterior surface.
