Elbow Anatomy





General Anatomy
The elbow is composed of three separate joints:  the humeroulnar joint which allows for elbow flexion and extension, the humeroradial joint which also allows for flexion and extension but also allows forearm supination and pronation (palm facing up or down), and the proximal radioulnar joint .  The stabilizing soft tissues of the elbow consist of the medial collateral ligament (MCL), the lateral collateral ligament (LCL), the annular ligament, muscles and joint capsule.
