The lateral epicondyle is much less pronounced than the medial epicondyle. It is lateral to the capitulum and has a large irregular impression for the attachment of muscles in the posterior compartment of the forearm.
The three fossae
Three fossae occur superior to the trochlea and capitulum on the distal end of the humerus (Fig. 7.61).
The radial fossa is the least distinct of the fossae and occurs immediately superior to the capitulum on the anterior surface of the humerus.
