Elbow, forearm and wrist Flashcards
Week 8
Structural and functional joint type of the Elbow joint
Structural type: Synocial hinge joint
Functional type: diarthrosis (uniaxial)
Name the elbow joints and their articulation.
Humeroulnar
Trochlea with ulna
Humeroradial
Capitulum with radius
Proximal radio-ulnar
Name the ligaments of the elbow joint
Articular capsule
collateral (radial and ulna) ligaments
annular ligament
What is the attachment of the articular capsule?
Capitulum and trochlea –> coronoid process (ant) and olecranon process (pos)
What is the attachment of the ulna collateral and radial collateral ligament?
Ulnar CL:
Medial epicondyle –> coronoid process of olecranon
Radial CL:
Lateral epicondyle –> annular ligament
what is the function of the annular ligament?
Covers radial head (binds radial head into radial notch of ulna = supination and pronation)
Where doe the ulnar and radial bones articulate eachother?
proximal and distal radio-ulnar joints
What movements does the radio-ulnar joint allow for? What hold these joints together to allow for this movement?
pronation and supernation
Held together by annular ligament at proximal end, articular disc at distal end and the interossues membrane.
What type of joint is the radio-ulnar joint?
synovial pivot
