Study of individual changes in the spinal cord epicone

Abstract

The term “epicondyle” or “epicondylar region” was proposed on the basis of the clinical picture observed in the last lumbar and two upper sacral segments of the spinal cord (epicondylar nucleus). Polymorphizing on the question of the upper and lower boundaries of the epicone, it is possible to refer the fourth lumbar segment to the “epicone area”, since the lack of anatomical material does not allow to establish the absolute height of the individual nucleus, the required area, the presence of a clinical picture of the lesion of the lower part of the spinal cord allows us to conclude on the appropriate topography of the epicone. The nerves for the main muscle groups of the leg come out of the epicondyle segments.
