Struthers' ligament is a feature of human anatomy consisting of a band of connective tissue at the medial aspect of the distal humerus. It courses from the supracondylar process of the humerus (also known as avian spur) to the medial humeral epicondyle. It is not a constant ligament, and can be acquired or congenital. The structure was highlighted by John Struthers, who discussed the feature's evolutionary significance with Charles Darwin. Struthers originally reported that the ligament usually arose at a position 3.2 to 6.4 cm from the medial condyle, being 1.2 to 1.9 cm in length, and nearer to the anterior than the medial border of the humerus.

Es handelt sich um ein zusätzliches Band zwischen dem Processus supracondylaris und dem Epicondylus medialis humeri mit einer Vorkommenshäufigkeit von etwa 1 %. Bei Vorhandensein entspringt im Ansatzbereich der Oberarmkopf des Musculus pronator teres. (de)

Es ist meist angeboren, kann aber auch durch entzündliche suprakondyläre Prozesse entstehen. Es handelt sich um ein zusätzliches Band zwischen dem Processus supracondylaris und dem Epicondylus medialis humeri mit einer Vorkommenshäufigkeit von etwa 1 %. Bei Vorhandensein entspringt im Ansatzbereich der Oberarmkopf des Musculus pronator teres. Klinische Bedeutung hat das Band, weil zwischen ihm und dem Oberarmknochen der Nervus medianus und die Arteria brachialis hindurchziehen. Bei Verengung des Zwischenraums kann es daher zu einer Kompression des Nervens oder der Arterie kommen. (de)

The clinical significance of this structure is due to the median nerve and brachial artery which may pass underneath the "arch" formed by the process and ligament over the humeral body. Within this space the nerve may be compressed leading to . The ligament may also affect the ulnar nerve after an anterior transposition surgery, which is a commonly performed to manage patients with a cubital tunnel syndrome, a form of ulnar nerve entrapment. It is unlikely that the ulnar nerves are affected in patients without transposition surgeries. (en)
