Elbow Joints - ANS Radioulnar
Radiohumeral
Ulnarhumeral
Radioulnar Joint - ANS • Radial head and
radial fossa on ulna
• Pronation and
supination
Radiohumeral Joint - ANS radius and humerus
flexion and extension
Ulnarhumeral Joint - ANS humerus (trochlea) and ulna (trochlear notch)
flexion and extension
Distal Humerus - ANS flex/etend with radius/ulna

, Proximal ulna - ANS olecranon process (humerus in extension)
coronoid process (humerus in flexion)
trochlear notch (humerus)
radial notch (radial fossa in flexion)
Proximal Radius - ANS radial head
radial neck (lig surrounds to stabalize radius/ulna)
radial tuberosity
capitulum (contacts humerus on lateral epicondyle)
olecranon fossa (ulna)
What limits elbow extension? - ANS olecranon fossa hen fossa and process interact
Valgus vs Varus - ANS valgus: lateral deviation due to medial stress
varus: medial deviation due to lateral stress
Carrying angle of the elbow - ANS angle between ulna and humerus when arm is extended
offloads shear stress from elbow
women have larger angles because wider hips
Lateral Dislocation of Elbow - ANS ulna laterally rotates because lateral translation is
prevented by bone
Elbow Support Structures - ANS Joint Capsule
Collateral Ligaments
Superior Radioulnar Joint
Annular Ligament
