Understanding Elbow Anatomy and Function

The elbow is a complex hinge joint formed by the humerus (upper arm bone), radius, and ulna (forearm bones). This joint allows for both flexion and extension, as well as rotational movements of the forearm. Its intricate structure includes muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bursae, all working in unison to facilitate movements such as lifting, throwing, and pushing. Given its frequent use, the elbow is susceptible to various injuries and conditions that can significantly impact one’s quality of life.
