		The anatomical basis of avulsion of the medial epicondyle: the epiphysis for the medial epicondyle may not fuse with the distal end of the humerus until up to 20 yrs.
		A frequent complication of the abduction type of avulsion of the medial epicondyle is traction injury of the ulnar nerve.
		The anatomical basis for this stretching of the ulnar nerve is that it passes posterior to the medial epicondyle before entering the forearm.

		The two tendons involved in de Quervain's disease are found along the border of the radius and form an edge of what is known of as the "anatomical snuff box." It can easily be identified on the back of the wrist.
		At the time of surgery it is important to verify that the tendons of both the extensor pollicis brevis and the abductor pollicis longus are in the compartment that has been released.
		The existence of a separate compartment for the extensor pollicis brevis appears to be a fairly common anatomical variation in patients with de Quervain's disease and is found in a large percentage of those that end up requiring surgery to cure this problem.

		Tenosynovitis is a problem that develops as a result of a restriction in the free gliding between a tendon and its synovial sheath.
		For some time it has been known that these tendons frequently develop tenosynovitis because of repetitive hand motions.
		Anatomical references will show that they share a common tendon sheath and it is therefore suggested that they both are susceptible to this problem of adhesion with the shared tendon sheath.
