RÉSUMÉ
The knowledge of the presence of STF in a humerus may be important for preoperative planning for treatment of supracondylar fractures. Focused on the STF which is an important variation in the distal end of the humerus. The material consisted of 100 humeri of known sex taken from the Department of Anatomy, Sri Guru Ram Das Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, Amritsar. 36 pairs of male humeri and 14 pairs of female humeri were taken. The supracondylar foramen is seen in 26% of total humeri. It was present more in the females as compared to males and more frequently on the left side than on the right side. The translucent septum is found more frequently in the males than in females and more frequently on the right side than the left side. The anatomical knowledge of STF may be beneficial for anthropologists, orthopaedic surgeons, and radiologists in day-to-day clinical practice
