Joints Flashcards
articular surfaces of the elbow joint
capitulum and trochlea of the humerus
- head of the radius (articulates with the capitulum of humerus)
trochlear notch of ulna (articulates with the trochlea of the humerus)
ligaments involved in the elbow joint:
the fibrous capsule is weak anteriorly and posteriorly but thickened laterally to form: -
- lateral (radial) collateral ligament
medial (ulnar) collateral ligament, which consists of 3 bands: anterior, posterior and oblique)
elbow joint - type?
synovial hinge
movements of the elbow joint
flexion/extension
articular surfaces of proximal radioulnar joint
- Head of radius
- Radial notch of the ulna
ligament involved in prox. radioulnar j
Anular ligament (continuation of fibrous capsule of the elbow joint)
proximal radioulnar joint - type
synovial pivot

pronation/supination
articular surfaces of sternoclavicular j
the sternal end of the clavicle and clavicular notch of the manubrium sterni and a small part of the costal cartilage of the first rib
ligaments involved in sternoclavicular j
- anterior and posterior sternoclavicular ligaments
- Interclavicular ligament
costoclavicular ligament
sternoclavicular j - type
synovial saddle - but functions as a ball and socket
