Tlie articular surface of the lateral condyle is more strongly con\cx from sitle to side than that of the medial one, and the riilge which comiects it with the trochlea is much narrower. The medial epicondyle (Epicondylus medialis) is a rounded prominence on the meilial surface of the distal extre-nity, to which the cnllatcral ligament and the adductor muscle are attached.
