Ligaments
Lateral (radial collateral) ligament

Composed of three parts (bands)
Medial (ulnar collateral) ligament
• Anterior strong cord-like band:• Posterior weaker fan-like band:• Transverse band:

Synovial Membrane

Flexion is limited by the anterior surfaces of the forearm and arm coming into contact.
Extension is limited by the tension of the anterior ligament and the brachialis muscle.
Movements
Movements possible are Flexion & Extension
The joint is supplied by branches from the median, ulnar, musculocutaneous, and radial nerves.

• Angle between the long axis of the extended forearm and the long axis of the arm
• Opens laterally• Is about 170 degrees in male and
167 degrees in females

• The elbow joint is a stable joint because of the: Wrench-shaped articular surface
of the olecranon and the pulley-shaped trochlea of the humerus
Strong medial and lateral ligaments.
Stability

• Elbow dislocations are common, and most are posterior. Posterior dislocation usually
follows falling on the outstretched hand.
Posterior dislocations of the joint are common in children because the parts of the bones that stabilize the joint are incompletely developed.

• Avulsion of the epiphysis of the medial epicondyle is also common in childhood because the medial ligament is much stronger than the bond of union between the epiphysis and the diaphysis.

2. Epicondylitis:
inflammation or microdamage to collagenous tissues on either lateral or medial side of the distal humurus.
• Lateral epicondylitis is known as “tennis elbow.”.
• Medial epicondylitis is called “little leaguers elbow”.

3. Elbow fracture – frequently accompany elbow dislocations. The most common is a fracture of the medial epicondyle
