Elbow: Anatomy
Bony AnatomyRadiusUlnaHumerus – 2 condyles
◦Lateral – capitulum Articulates with the radius
◦Medial – trochlea Articulates with humerous
Ligaments◦ Ulnar collateral
Medial epicondyle to ulnar trochlear notch
Strong anterior band, weaker transverse & middle
Gives medial support
◦ Radial collateral Lateral epicondyle to
side of annular ligament
Does not attach to radius
Gives lateral support
◦ Annular Holds radius to ulna
and humerus Allows rotation of
radius (supination and flexion)
Gives lateral support
MusclesFlexion
◦Biceps brachii, brachial, brachioradialis
Extension◦Triceps brachii
Pronation◦Pronator quadratus, pronator teres
Supination◦Biceps brachii, supinator muscle
MusclesBiceps brachii
◦ Insertion Tuberosity of the
radius
◦ Movement Flexes elbow,
supinates forearm
Brachialis◦ Insertion
Coronoid process of ulna
◦ Movement Flexes elbow
Brachioradialis◦ Insertion
Styloid process of the raidus
◦ Movement Flexes elbow
Triceps brachii◦ Insertion
Olecranon process of ulna
◦ Movement Extension
MusclesSupinator
◦ Insertion Proximal end of the
lateral surface of the shaft of the radius
◦ Movement Supinates the elbow
Pronator teres◦ Insertion
Middle of the lateral surface of the shaft of the radius
◦ Movement Pronates elbow
Anconeus◦ Insertion
Lateral surface of the olecranon process of the ulna
◦ Movement Extends elbow
JointsHumeroradial
◦Articulation of lateral distal humerus and proximal radius
Radioulnar◦Articulation between radial notich of the
proximal lateral aspect of ulna, the radial head and capitulum of distal humerus Important in supination andpronation
Humeroulnar◦Articulation between distal humerus
medially and proximal ulna
Nerves◦Median
Passes deep in the cubital fossa medial to the biceps and brachialis
◦Radial Lateral to biceps and brachialis
◦Ulnar Courses posteriorly in groove between
the medial epicondyle and olecranon process
◦Musclocutaneous Passes through cubital fossa, supplies the
anterior forearm and thenar muscles
Elbow AnatomyMISC
◦ Medial & lat. Condyles with the olecranon process form a straight line when arm is straight
Forms a triangle when arm is bent
◦ Posterolateral triangle – radial head, lat. Condyle, olecronon process
Good place for aspiration
Elbow AnatomyCarrying angle
◦5-15 degrees female 5-10 degrees male This angle will
increase in athletes that have participated in throwing sports for a long time, or the angle could increase if there is a fx
ROM◦ Flexion – 145
degrees◦ Extension – 0 / -5
degrees◦ Pronation &
supination – 90 degrees
