olecranon

• The ulna is flattened and has a large, blade-shaped olecranon process. —  PLoS ONE Alerts: New Articles
• The trochlear notch of the ulna projects farther anteriorly, locking into the humeral olecranon fossa during extension. —  PLoS ONE Alerts: New Articles
• Having said that, Vizcaíno et al. (1999) and Vizcaíno & Milne (2002) looked at function in armadillo limbs and used an Index of Fossorial Ability (IFA, calculated by dividing olecranon length by the difference between ulnar length and olecranon length) to compare the fossorial ability of the different armadillos. —  ScienceBlogs Channel : Life Science
• Velpeau opposed this, but it is again recommended by Gross, who leaves the olecranon, and at the same time improves the shape of the stump by sawing off the "inner trochlea" on a level with the general surface AMPUTATION OF THE ARM.--This amputation is best performed by double flap, and is the typical instance which exhibits all the advantages of two equal flaps made by transfixion, without any of the disadvantages of that method. —  A Manual of the Operations of Surgery For the Use of Senior Students, House Surgeons, and Junior Practitioners
• The olecranon is thus exposed, and should be removed by saw or pliers by cutting into the greater sigmoid notch; the lateral ligaments must then be cut, if they are not already destroyed by the disease, and the humerus protruded, a proper amount of which is then to be sawn off in a transverse direction. —  A Manual of the Operations of Surgery For the Use of Senior Students, House Surgeons, and Junior Practitioners
