Abstract

Abstract Olecranon spurs are enthesophytes, observed in the posterior part of the proximal olecranon surface. They can be symptomatic in isolation but are frequently mentioned with inflammatory conditions such as triceps tendonitis or olecranon bursitis and gout. Its surgical management entails anatomical information. Olecranon spur has rarely been reported in anatomical studies. We present a case of bilateral olecranon spur in the ulnae of a 62-year-old male skeleton. To the best of our knowledge, this report is the first anatomical report on biletral olecranon spur. The size of the spur was noticed carefully. Thorough anatomical knowledge of the olecranon spur can provide clinicians, radiologists, and forensic experts with better clinical judgment and may add insight to the surgical planning by orthopedic surgeons. Olecranon spur should also be considered in the differential diagnosis of pain at the posterior elbow, which may develop spontaneously, after a traumatic event, or in association with different sports.
