S2 - Upper Limb (Forearm) Flashcards
what are A, B, C and D?
- A = lateral supracondylar ridge
- B = radial fossa (lateral)
- C = capitulum (lateral, articulates w/ head of radius)

what are E, F, G, H and I?
- E = medial supracondylar ridge
- F = coronoid fossa (medial)
- G = medial epicondyle
- H = olecranon fossa
- I = lateral epicondyle
what are A, B, C and D?
- A = coronoid process (articulates w/ coronoid fossa on humerus)
- B = trochlear notch (articulates w/ trochlea on humerus)
- C = olecranon process (articulates w/ olecranon fossa on humerus)
- D = radial notch of the ulna (PROXIMAL RADIOULNAR JOINT)
what are E, F, G and H?
- E = radial head (articulates w/ capitulum of humerus which is lateral to trochlea)
- F = radial tuberosity (distal insertion of biceps)
- G = ulnar tuberosity (insertion of brachialis)
- H = ulnar notch of the radius (forms DISTAL radioulnar joint)
what is I?
- I = styloid process (one radial, one ulnar)
- NB ulnar head is DISTAL
describe the articulations of the elbow joint
- CRazy TUlips
- capitulum of humerus goes with the head of the radius (lateral) - humeroradial
- trochlea of humerus goes with the trochlear notch of the ulna (medial) - humeroulnar joint
- (also the proximal radioulnar joint, but technically not part of the elbow as it allows for pronation and supination, not flexion and extension)
where are the bursae of the elbow?
- olecranon (subcutaneous) bursa
- bicipitoradial bursa (b/n biceps tendon and radial tuberosity)
- intratendinous bursa (in triceps brachii tendon)
- subtendinous bursa (b/n olecranon process and triceps brachii tendon)
which 2 ligaments support the elbow joint?
- radial collateral
- ulnar collateral
- help prevent medial/lateral dislocation
