Humeral tuberosity (brachial tubercle)

Humeral bowing is an anatomical deformity of the humerus in which excessive curvature or a change in the normal axis of the bone is observed. It may occur after an injury, a fracture that has healed in an incorrect position, or due to developmental disorders. The deformity can affect shoulder and elbow movement, causing functional limitations or pain. Diagnosis is mainly based on clinical examination and imaging evaluation, such as X-rays. Treatment depends on the degree of deformity and may include observation, physiotherapy, or surgical correction in severe cases.
