Abstract
To explain surgical findings, we studied the anatomy of the human humeral medullary canal on a series of 28 bones in 16 patients and 9 dried bones. A methodology is described to find angle of medullary canal on CT scans regarding to an epicondylar reference axis. We found a constant tri-dimensional spiral shape of the medullary canal in the distal part of the bone. The relations between this first description and the literature are discussed.
