to me it seems that both black and white people can have these markedly sharp looking elbows (sharp jointed emphasis especially when flexed); sharper profiled elbows may be correlated as an important masculine gender marker. the olecranon marker on the elbow joint produces the sharp elbow look - www.med.nus.sg/ant/e-museum/docs/jpg/lab_u15.jpg

Do you have any pictures showing what you mean by sharp elbows?

Wouldn't larger medial epicondyle make the elbow look wider, rather than sharper?

Thats rather typical for leptomorphic build people, especially those which are robust + leptomorphic, mature, low subcutaneous fat and again a raise if the individual is very masculine - maximum if trained too.
So a leptomorphic+low subcutaneous fat+robust+mature+masculine+trained = very "sharp" ...

yes Agrippa is correct here..you have to watch out for callous's which your probably more prone to them...and it can bother your elbows resting on hard objects as the sharp point digs into the structure very easily and wihout much effort/force.

i have wicked sharp elbows, and that's mainly due to me being on the skinny side. i don't think it's as much ethnicity as it is simply weight.

in this pictorial illustration even the coronoid fossa on the humerus looks marked - www.chionline.com/anatomy/anat10.gifnotice the lateral and medial epicondyles which would have a broader symphysial development in more robust individuals; notice the olecranon further up from the ascending shaft of the ulna.

Do you consider Federer's elbows sharp?

quoting nymos - don't know the tennis player although that's a good example. and Crimson Guard on knee caps - i'd consider that particular feature as being not essentially a marked feature in profile, especially in standing countenance, (despite the possibility for identifying assortive criteria for knee caps) the way the elbow area is. elbows to me are a conspicuous feature with probably more associative criteria as it relates to such factors as gender, somatotype and race. unfortunately i cannot opinionate - articulate in a professional manner; i'm interested in the way the whole frontal area of the upper distal segment (fore limbs?) on the lower limb manifests itself within different postures - such as voluminousness, sharpness markers at the knee juncture, in squatting posture, gender dimorphy within this aspect, etc,. quite something else in comparison to talk about head form -
it would be really cool if a professional could post in here.
