Condyle of humerus
Condylus humeri
Definition
The condyle of humerus is the whole distal end except the epicondyles. It articulates with the radius and ulna forming the elbow joint.
Variation:
In dog and cats, the condyle is divided in two parts:
The trochlea, the medial part, that articulates with ulna
The capitulum, the lateral part; that articulates with radius
In ungulates, the condyle is divided by sagittal ridges.
