A lateral condyle is a rounded, protruding part of a bone, typically found at the end or near a joint, situated on the outer side or lateral aspect of a long bone in the limb. It usually facilitates articulation with another bone. Examples of a lateral condyle can be found in the knee joint (on the femur and tibia) and on the humerus in the elbow joint.
