The '''medial epicondyle of the [[humerus]]''', larger and more prominent than the [[lateral epicondyle]], is directed a little backward. In [[birds]], where the arm is somewhat rotated compared to other [[tetrapod]]s, it is called '''ventral epicondyle of the humerus'''.
It gives attachment to the [[ulnar collateral ligament]] of the [[elbow-joint]], to the [[Pronator teres]], and to a common tendon of origin (the [[common flexor tendon]]) of some of the Flexor muscles of the [[forearm]].
The [[ulnar nerve]] runs in a groove on the back of this [[epicondyle]].
