Overview of the bones that define the forearm, the radius and ulna. Extending from the wrist to theelbowjoint is the region ofthe upper extremitycalled theforearm(antebrachium). The forearm helps theshoulder and the armin force application and the precise placement of thehandin space, with the...
The term elbow is generally used to describe the region between the distal brachium (“arm”) and the proximal antebrachium (“forearm”). The term elbow joint specifically describes the articulation between the distal humerus and the proximal radius and ulna. The elbow joint is sometimes called...
Stars and Star ClustersAn encyclopedia entry for "elbow" is presented. It refers to the hinge joint formed where the lower end of the humerus or upper-arm bone meets the upper ends of the radius and ulna or the forearm bones. The elbow is stabilized by ligaments at the front, the back...
Know the major landmarks of the elbow and forearm bones What are the kinesiological functions of the Elbow and Forearm? Assist shoulder in applying force Controlling placement of the hand in space ROM of Elbow flexion and hyperextension Flexion = 140-150Hyperextension = 0-5 ROM of Forearm pron...
ability of direct visualization of hyaline cartilage. In this chapter, we review normal ultrasonographic anatomical landmarks and examination techniques of pediatric elbow and forearm. We also review common MSUS pathological findings in various conditions such as synovitis, fractures, bursitis, and ...
There are two ligaments in the elbow that aid in preventing the elbow from dislocation-the RCL and the UCL. The UCL helps to connect the upper arm bone (Humerus) to one of the forearm bones (Ulna). The UCL stabilizes the elbow during the throwing motion, so it must be able to ...
and extension motions—provides the joint stability due to its bony structure and strong ligamentous structures Proximal radioulnar joint: Articulation of the proximal ends of the two forearm bones—the radius/ulna Assists with the radius pivoting around the ulna during supination/pronation Note: ...
The elbow is the region surrounding the elbow joint and connects the arm to the forearm. The elbow joint is made by three bones: the humerus, the radius and the ulna. The elbow joint is complex and made by three joints with a unique articular capsule: humeroulnar, humeroradial and proxi...
Anatomically, the elbow is a hinge joint, meaning it primarily allows for bending and straightening movements. This hinge-like action is facilitated by the articulating surfaces of the humerus and the forearm bones, which are held together by a capsule of fibrous tissue and strengthened by collater...
