Q

Describe flexion and extension at the elbow

A

concave surface of the trochlear notch rolls and glides on convex trochlea

  • full extension requires : ant dermis, flexor muscles,anterior capsule, MCL anterior fibres
  • full flexion requires : posterior capsule elongation, extensor muscles, ulnar nerve, MCL posterior fibres and portions of LCL

Q

flexion and extension at the humeroradial joint

A

the fovea of the radius rolls and slides over the convex capitulum

Fovea pulled firmly aanst capitulum in active flexion
