The distal end forms a cylindrical '''condyle''' that transfers weight to the radius. On the lateral aspect of the condyle there is a small '''saggital ridge''' with grooves to allow articulation with the radius and ulna. The medial and lateral '''epicondlyes''' and '''lateral supracondylar crest''' are palpable landmarks. A shallow '''radial fossa''' is just proximal to the condyle on the cranial surface. The deeper '''olecranon fossa''', between the two epicondyles, lies opposite the radial fossa on the caudal surface. There is no supratrochlear foramen between the two fossae in horses. | The distal end forms a cylindrical '''condyle''' that transfers weight to the radius.
