ulna/radius size relationship
Ulna is much larger proximally than radius
Radius is much larger distally than ulna
proximal attachments for muscles that flex & extend the elbow
scapula and humerus
distal attachments for muscles that flex & extend the elbow
radius and ulna
bottom of the humerus
Lateral Condyle-Capitulum
Medial Condyle-Trochlea
Lateral Condyle-Capitulum
Radial Side
Sits on the head of the Proximal Radius
Medial Condyle-Trochlea
Ulnar Side
Communicates and articulates with Olecranon Process and Coronoid Process to create the Elbow joint
Olecranon process
Hook-like projection on proximal Ulna
Coranoid process
Self-like projection distal to Olecranon
Olecranon Fossa
Back of Humerus where the Olecranon Process fits in
hyperextension occurs when
When the fossa is deep or Olecranon Process is not as prominent
