Joint between the upper and lower parts of the arm

For other uses, see Elbow (disambiguation).

ElbowHuman elbowElbow jointDetailsIdentifiersLatinarticulatio cubitiMeSHD004550TA98A01.1.00.023TA2145FMA24901Anatomical terminology[edit on Wikidata]

The elbow is the region between the upper arm and the forearm that surrounds the elbow joint.[1] The elbow includes prominent landmarks such as the olecranon, the cubital fossa (also called the chelidon, or the elbow pit), and the lateral and the medial epicondyles of the humerus. The elbow joint is a hinge joint between the arm and the forearm;[2] more specifically between the humerus in the upper arm and the radius and ulna in the forearm which allows the forearm and hand to be moved towards and away from the body.[3][4]

The term elbow is specifically used for humans and other primates, and in other vertebrates forelimb plus joint is used.[1]

The name for the elbow in Latin is cubitus, and so the word cubital is used in some elbow-related terms, as in cubital nodes for example.

Structure[edit]

Joint[edit]

The elbow joint has three different portions surrounded by a common joint capsule. These are joints between the three bones of the elbow, the humerus of the upper arm, and the radius and the ulna of the forearm.

Joint

From

Description

Humeroulnar joint

trochlear notch of the ulna

trochlea of humerus

Is a simple hinge-joint, and allows for movements of flexion and extension only.

Humeroradial joint

head of the radius

capitulum of the humerus

Is a ball-and-socket joint.

Proximal radioulnar joint

head of the radius

radial notch of the ulna

In any position of flexion or extension, the radius, carrying the hand with it, can be rotated in it. This movement includes pronation and supination.

When in anatomical position there are four main bony landmarks of the elbow. At the lower part of the humerus are the medial and lateral epicondyles, on the side closest to the body (medial) and on the side away from the body (lateral) surfaces. The third landmark is the olecranon found at the head of the ulna. These lie on a horizontal line called the Hueter line. When the elbow is flexed, they form a triangle called the Hueter triangle, which resembles an equilateral triangle.[5]

Left elbow extended and flexed

At the surface of the humerus where it faces the joint is the trochlea. In most people, the groove running across the trochlea is vertical on the anterior side but it spirals off on the posterior side. This results in the forearm being aligned to the upper arm during flexion, but forming an angle to the upper arm during extension — an angle known as the carrying angle.[6]

The superior radioulnar joint shares the joint capsule with the elbow joint but plays no functional role at the elbow.[7]

Joint capsule[edit]

Capsule of elbow-joint (distended). Anterior and posterior aspects.

The elbow joint and the superior radioulnar joint are enclosed by a single fibrous capsule. The capsule is strengthened by ligaments at the sides but is relatively weak in front and behind.[8]

On the anterior side, the capsule consists mainly of longitudinal fibres. However, some bundles among these fibers run obliquely or transversely, thickening and strengthening the capsule. These bundles are referred to as the capsular ligament. Deep fibres of the brachialis muscle insert anteriorly into the capsule and act to pull it and the underlying membrane during flexion in order to prevent them from being pinched.[8]

On the posterior side, the capsule is thin and mainly composed of transverse fibres. A few of these fibres stretch across the olecranon fossa without attaching to it and form a transverse band with a free upper border. On the ulnar side, the capsule reaches down to the posterior part of the annular ligament. The posterior capsule is attached to the triceps tendon which prevents the capsule from being pinched during extension.[8]

Synovial membrane[edit]

The synovial membrane of the elbow joint is very extensive. On the humerus, it extends up from the articular margins and covers the coronoid and radial fossae anteriorly and the olecranon fossa posteriorly. Distally, it is prolonged down to the neck of the radius and the superior radioulnar joint. It is supported by the quadrate ligament below the annular ligament where it also forms a fold which gives the head of the radius freedom of movement.[8]

Several synovial folds project into the recesses of the joint.[8]

These folds or plicae are remnants of normal embryonic development and can be categorized as either anterior (anterior humeral recess) or posterior (olecranon recess).[9]

A crescent-shaped fold is commonly present between the head of the radius and the capitulum of the humerus.[8]

On the humerus there are extrasynovial fat pads adjacent to the three articular fossae. These pads fill the radial and coronoid fossa anteriorly during extension, and the olecranon fossa posteriorly during flexion. They are displaced when the fossae are occupied by the bony projections of the ulna and radius.[8]

Ligaments[edit]

Left elbow-jointLeft: anterior and ulnar collateral ligamentsRight: posterior and radial collateral ligaments

The elbow, like other joints, has ligaments on either side. These are triangular bands which blend with the joint capsule. They are positioned so that they always lie across the transverse joint axis and are, therefore, always relatively tense and impose strict limitations on abduction, adduction, and axial rotation at the elbow.[8]

The ulnar collateral ligament has its apex on the medial epicondyle. Its anterior band stretches from the anterior side of the medial epicondyle to the medial edge of the coronoid process, while the posterior band stretches from posterior side of the medial epicondyle to the medial side of the olecranon. These two bands are separated by a thinner intermediate part and their distal attachments are united by a transverse band below which the synovial membrane protrudes during joint movements. The anterior band is closely associated with the tendon of the superficial flexor muscles of the forearm, even being the origin of flexor digitorum superficialis. The ulnar nerve crosses the intermediate part as it enters the forearm.[8]

The radial collateral ligament is attached to the lateral epicondyle below the common extensor tendon. Less distinct than the ulnar collateral ligament, this ligament blends with the annular ligament of the radius and its margins are attached near the radial notch of the ulna.[8]

Muscles[edit]

Flexion[edit]

There are three main flexor muscles at the elbow:[10]

Brachialis acts exclusively as an elbow flexor and is one of the few muscles in the human body with a single function. It originates low on the anterior side of the humerus and is inserted into the tuberosity of the ulna.

Brachioradialis acts essentially as an elbow flexor but also supinates during extreme pronation and pronates during extreme supination. It originates at the lateral supracondylar ridge distally on the humerus and is inserted distally on the radius at the styloid process.

Biceps brachii is the main elbow flexor but, as a biarticular muscle, also plays important secondary roles as a stabiliser at the shoulder and as a supinator. It originates on the scapula with two tendons: That of the long head on the supraglenoid tubercle just above the shoulder joint and that of the short head on the coracoid process at the top of the scapula. Its main insertion is at the radial tuberosity on the radius.

Brachialis is the main muscle used when the elbow is flexed slowly. During rapid and forceful flexion all three muscles are brought into action assisted by the superficial forearm flexors originating at the medial side of the elbow.[11]

The efficiency of the flexor muscles increases dramatically as the elbow is brought into midflexion (flexed 90°) — biceps reaches its angle of maximum efficiency at 80–90° and brachialis at 100–110°.[10]

Active flexion is limited to 145° by the contact between the anterior muscles of the upper arm and forearm, more so because they are hardened by contraction during flexion. Passive flexion (forearm is pushed against the upper arm with flexors relaxed) is limited to 160° by the bony projections on the radius and ulna as they reach to shallow depressions on the humerus; i.e. the head of radius being pressed against the radial fossa and the coronoid process being pressed against the coronoid fossa. Passive flexion is further limited by tension in the posterior capsular ligament and in triceps brachii.[12]

A small accessory muscle, so called epitrochleoanconeus muscle, may be found on the medial aspect of the elbow running from the medial epicondyle to the olecranon.[13]

Extension[edit]

Elbow extension is simply bringing the forearm back to anatomical position.[11] This action is performed by triceps brachii with a negligible assistance from anconeus. Triceps originates with two heads posteriorly on the humerus and with its long head on the scapula just below the shoulder joint. It is inserted posteriorly on the olecranon.[10]

Triceps is maximally efficient with the elbow flexed 20–30°. As the angle of flexion increases, the position of the olecranon approaches the main axis of the humerus which decreases muscle efficiency. In full flexion, however, the triceps tendon is "rolled up" on the olecranon as on a pulley which compensates for the loss of efficiency. Because triceps' long head is biarticular (acts on two joints), its efficiency is also dependent on the position of the shoulder.[10]

Extension is limited by the olecranon reaching the olecranon fossa, tension in the anterior ligament, and resistance in flexor muscles. Forced extension results in a rupture in one of the limiting structures: olecranon fracture, torn capsule and ligaments, and, though the muscles are normally left unaffected, a bruised brachial artery.[12]

Blood supply[edit]

The anastomosis and deep veins around the elbow-joint

The arteries supplying the joint are derived from an extensive circulatory anastomosis between the brachial artery and its terminal branches. The superior and inferior ulnar collateral branches of the brachial artery and the radial and middle collateral branches of the profunda brachii artery descend from above to reconnect on the joint capsule, where they also connect with the anterior and posterior ulnar recurrent branches of the ulnar artery; the radial recurrent branch of the radial artery; and the interosseous recurrent branch of the common interosseous artery.[14]

The blood is brought back by vessels from the radial, ulnar, and brachial veins.

There are two sets of lymphatic nodes at the elbow, normally located above the medial epicondyle — the deep and superficial cubital nodes (also called epitrochlear nodes). The lymphatic drainage at the elbow is through the deep nodes at the bifurcation of the brachial artery, the superficial nodes drain the forearm and the ulnar side of the hand. The efferent lymph vessels from the elbow proceed to the lateral group of axillary lymph nodes.[14][15]

Nerve supply[edit]

The elbow is innervated anteriorly by branches from the musculocutaneous, median, and radial nerve, and posteriorly from the ulnar nerve and the branch of the radial nerve to anconeus.[14]

Development[edit]

The elbow undergoes dynamic development of ossification centers through infancy and adolescence, with the order of both the appearance and fusion of the apophyseal growth centers being crucial in assessment of the pediatric elbow on radiograph, in order to distinguish a traumatic fracture or apophyseal separation from normal development. The order of appearance can be understood by the mnemonic CRITOE, referring to the capitellum, radial head, internal epicondyle, trochlea, olecranon, and external epicondyle at ages 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11 years. These apophyseal centers then fuse during adolescence, with the internal epicondyle and olecranon fusing last. The ages of fusion are more variable than ossification, but normally occur at 13, 15, 17, 13, 16 and 13 years, respectively.[16] In addition, the presence of a joint effusion can be inferenced by the presence of the fat pad sign, a structure that is normally physiologically present, but pathologic when elevated by fluid, and always pathologic when posterior.[17]

Function[edit]

The function of the elbow joint is to extend and flex the arm.[18] The range of movement in the elbow is from 0 degrees of elbow extension to 150 degrees of elbow flexion.[19] Muscles contributing to function are all flexion (biceps brachii, brachialis, and brachioradialis) and extension muscles (triceps and anconeus).

In humans, the main task of the elbow is to properly place the hand in space by shortening and lengthening the upper limb. While the superior radioulnar joint shares joint capsule with the elbow joint, it plays no functional role at the elbow.[7]

With the elbow extended, the long axis of the humerus and that of the ulna coincide.[20] At the same time, the articular surfaces on both bones are located in front of those axes and deviate from them at an angle of 45°.[21] Additionally, the forearm muscles that originate at the elbow are grouped at the sides of the joint in order not to interfere with its movement. The wide angle of flexion at the elbow made possible by this arrangement — almost 180° — allows the bones to be brought almost in parallel to each other.[7]

Carrying angle[edit]

Normal radiograph; right picture of the straightened arm shows the carrying angle of the elbow

When the arm is extended, with the palm facing forward or up, the bones of the upper arm (humerus) and forearm (radius and ulna) are not perfectly aligned. The deviation from a straight line occurs in the direction of the thumb, and is referred to as the "carrying angle".[22]

The carrying angle permits the arm to be swung without contacting the hips. Women on average have smaller shoulders and wider hips than men, which tends to produce a larger carrying angle (i.e., larger deviation from a straight line than that in men). There is, however, extensive overlap in the carrying angle between individual men and women, and a sex-bias has not been consistently observed in scientific studies.[23]

The angle is greater in the dominant limb than the non-dominant limb of both sexes,[24] suggesting that natural forces acting on the elbow modify the carrying angle. Developmental,[25] aging and possibly racial influences add further to the variability of this parameter.

Pathology[edit]

The types of disease most commonly seen at the elbow are due to injury.

Tendonitis[edit]

Two of the most common injuries at the elbow are overuse injuries: tennis elbow and golfer's elbow.[26] Golfer's elbow involves the tendon of the common flexor origin which originates at the medial epicondyle of the humerus (the "inside" of the elbow).[26] Tennis elbow is the equivalent injury, but at the common extensor origin (the lateral epicondyle of the humerus).[26]

Fractures[edit]

There are three bones at the elbow joint, and any combination of these bones may be involved in a fracture of the elbow. Patients who are able to fully extend their arm at the elbow are unlikely to have a fracture (98% certainty) and an X-ray is not required as long as an olecranon fracture is ruled out.[27] Acute fractures may not be easily visible on X-ray.[28]

Dislocation[edit]

X-ray of ventral dislocation of the radial head. There is calcification of annular ligament, which can be seen as early as 2 weeks after injury.[29]

Elbow dislocations constitute 10% to 25% of all injuries to the elbow. The elbow is one of the most commonly dislocated joints in the body, with an average annual incidence of acute dislocation of 6 per 100,000 persons.[30] Among injuries to the upper extremity, dislocation of the elbow is second only to a dislocated shoulder.

A full dislocation of the elbow will require expert medical attention to re-align, and recovery can take approximately 6 weeks.[citation needed]

Infection[edit]

Infection of the elbow joint (septic arthritis) is uncommon. It may occur spontaneously, but may also occur in relation to surgery or infection elsewhere in the body (for example, endocarditis).[31]

Arthritis[edit]

Elbow arthritis is usually seen in individuals with rheumatoid arthritis or after fractures that involve the joint itself. When the damage to the joint is severe, fascial arthroplasty or elbow joint replacement may be considered.[32]

Bursitis[edit]

Main article: Olecranon bursitis

Olecranon bursitis, tenderness, warmth, swelling, pain in both flexion and extension-in chronic case great flexion-is extremely painful.

Elbow pain[edit]

Main article: elbow pain

Elbow pain occurs when the tenderness of the tissues in the elbow become inflamed. Frequent exercise of the inflamed elbow will assist with healing.

Clinical significance[edit]

Elbow pain can occur for a multitude of reasons, including injury, disease, and other conditions. Common conditions include tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, distal radioulnar joint rheumatoid arthritis, and cubital tunnel syndrome.

Tennis elbow[edit]

Tennis elbow is a very common type of overuse injury. It can occur both from chronic repetitive motions of the hand and forearm, and from trauma to the same areas. These repetitions can injure the tendons that connect the extensor supinator muscles (which rotate and extend the forearm) to the olecranon process (also known as "the elbow"). Pain occurs, often radiating from the lateral forearm. Weakness, numbness, and stiffness are also very common, along with tenderness upon touch.[33]

A non-invasive treatment for pain management is rest. If achieving rest is an issue, a wrist brace can also be worn. This keeps the wrist in flexion, thereby relieving the extensor muscles and allowing rest. Ice, heat, ultrasound, steroid injections, and compression can also help alleviate pain. After the pain has been reduced, exercise therapy is important to prevent injury in the future. Exercises should be low velocity, and weight should increase progressively.[34] Stretching the flexors and extensors is helpful, as are strengthening exercises. Massage can also be useful, focusing on the extensor trigger points.[35]

Golfer's elbow[edit]

Golfer's elbow is very similar to tennis elbow, but less common. It is caused by overuse and repetitive motions like a golf swing. It can also be caused by trauma. Wrist flexion and pronation (rotating of the forearm) causes irritation to the tendons near the medial epicondyle of the elbow.[36] It can cause pain, stiffness, loss of sensation, and weakness radiating from the inside of the elbow to the fingers.

Rest is the primary intervention for this injury. Ice, pain medication, steroid injections, strengthening exercises, and avoiding any aggravating activities can also help. Surgery is a last resort, and rarely used. Exercises should focus on strengthening and stretching the forearm, and utilizing proper form when performing movements.[37]

Rheumatoid arthritis[edit]

Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic disease that affects joints. It is very common in the wrist, and is most common at the radioulnar joint. It results in pain, stiffness, and deformities.

There are many different treatments for rheumatoid arthritis, and there is no one consensus for which methods are best. Most common treatments include wrist splints, surgery, physical and occupational therapy, and antirheumatic medication.[38]

Cubital tunnel syndrome[edit]

Cubital tunnel syndrome, more commonly known as ulnar neuropathy, occurs when the ulnar nerve is irritated and becomes inflamed. This can often happen where the ulnar nerve is most superficial, at the elbow. The ulnar nerve passes over the elbow, at the area known as the "funny bone". Irritation can occur due to constant, repeated stress and pressure at this area, or from a trauma. It can also occur due to bone deformities, and oftentimes from sports.[39] Symptoms include tingling, numbness, and weakness, along with pain.

First line pain management techniques include the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory oral medicines. These help to reduce inflammation, pressure, and irritation of the nerve and around the nerve. Other simple fixes include learning more ergonomically friendly habits that can help prevent nerve impingement and irritation in the future. Protective equipment can also be very helpful. Examples of this include a protective elbow pad, and an arm splint. More serious cases often involve surgery, in which the nerve or the surrounding tissue is moved to relieve the pressure. Recovery from surgery can take awhile, but the prognosis is often a good one. Recovery often includes movement restrictions, and range of motion activities, and can last a few months (cubital and radial tunnel syndrome, 2).

Society and culture[edit]

The now obsolete length unit ell relates closely to the elbow. This becomes especially visible when considering the Germanic origins of both words, Elle (ell, defined as the length of a male forearm from elbow to fingertips) and Ellbogen (elbow). It is unknown when or why the second "l" was dropped from English usage of the word.[citation needed] The ell as in the English measure could also be taken to come from the letter L, being bent at right angles, as an elbow.[40] The ell as a measure was taken as six handbreadths; three to the elbow and three from the elbow to the shoulder.[41] Another measure was the cubit (from cubital). This was taken to be the length of a man's arm from the elbow to the end of the middle finger.[42]

Other primates[edit]

Though the elbow is similarly adapted for stability through a wide range of pronation-supination and flexion-extension in all apes, there are some minor difference. In arboreal apes such as orangutans, the large forearm muscles originating on the epicondyles of the humerus generate significant transverse forces on the elbow joint. The structure to resist these forces is a pronounced keel on the trochlear notch on the ulna, which is more flattened in, for example, humans and gorillas. In knuckle-walkers, on the other hand, the elbow has to deal with large vertical loads passing through extended forearms and the joint is therefore more expanded to provide larger articular surfaces perpendicular to those forces.[43]

Derived traits in catarrhini (apes and Old World monkeys), elbows include the loss of the entepicondylar foramen (a hole in the distal humerus), a non-translatory (rotation-only) humeroulnar joint, and a more robust ulna with a shortened trochlear notch.[44]

The proximal radioulnar joint is similarly derived in higher primates in the location and shape of the radial notch on the ulna; the primitive form being represented by New World monkeys, such as the howler monkey, and by fossil catarrhines, such as Aegyptopithecus. In these taxa, the oval head of the radius lies in front of the ulnar shaft so that the former overlaps the latter by half its width. With this forearm configuration, the ulna supports the radius and maximum stability is achieved when the forearm is fully pronated.[44]

ElbowHuman elbowElbow jointDetailsIdentifiersLatinarticulatio cubitiMeSHD004550TA98A01.1.00.023TA2145FMA24901Anatomical terminology[edit on Wikidata]

The term elbow is specifically used for humans and other primates, and in other vertebrates forelimb plus joint is used.[1]

The name for the elbow in Latin is cubitus, and so the word cubital is used in some elbow-related terms, as in cubital nodes for example.

Structure[edit]

Joint[edit]

Joint

From

Description

Humeroulnar joint

trochlear notch of the ulna

trochlea of humerus

Is a simple hinge-joint, and allows for movements of flexion and extension only.

Humeroradial joint

head of the radius

capitulum of the humerus

Is a ball-and-socket joint.

Proximal radioulnar joint

head of the radius

radial notch of the ulna

In any position of flexion or extension, the radius, carrying the hand with it, can be rotated in it. This movement includes pronation and supination.

Left elbow extended and flexed

The superior radioulnar joint shares the joint capsule with the elbow joint but plays no functional role at the elbow.[7]

Joint capsule[edit]

Capsule of elbow-joint (distended). Anterior and posterior aspects.

The elbow joint and the superior radioulnar joint are enclosed by a single fibrous capsule. The capsule is strengthened by ligaments at the sides but is relatively weak in front and behind.[8]

Synovial membrane[edit]

Several synovial folds project into the recesses of the joint.[8]

These folds or plicae are remnants of normal embryonic development and can be categorized as either anterior (anterior humeral recess) or posterior (olecranon recess).[9]

A crescent-shaped fold is commonly present between the head of the radius and the capitulum of the humerus.[8]

Ligaments[edit]

Left elbow-jointLeft: anterior and ulnar collateral ligamentsRight: posterior and radial collateral ligaments

Muscles[edit]

Flexion[edit]

There are three main flexor muscles at the elbow:[10]

A small accessory muscle, so called epitrochleoanconeus muscle, may be found on the medial aspect of the elbow running from the medial epicondyle to the olecranon.[13]

Extension[edit]

Blood supply[edit]

The anastomosis and deep veins around the elbow-joint

The blood is brought back by vessels from the radial, ulnar, and brachial veins.

Nerve supply[edit]

The elbow is innervated anteriorly by branches from the musculocutaneous, median, and radial nerve, and posteriorly from the ulnar nerve and the branch of the radial nerve to anconeus.[14]

Development[edit]

Function[edit]

Carrying angle[edit]

Normal radiograph; right picture of the straightened arm shows the carrying angle of the elbow

Pathology[edit]

Left: Lateral X ray of a dislocated right elbowRight: AP X ray of a dislocated right elbow

The types of disease most commonly seen at the elbow are due to injury.

Tendonitis[edit]

Fractures[edit]

Dislocation[edit]

X-ray of ventral dislocation of the radial head. There is calcification of annular ligament, which can be seen as early as 2 weeks after injury.[29]

A full dislocation of the elbow will require expert medical attention to re-align, and recovery can take approximately 6 weeks.[citation needed]

Infection[edit]

Infection of the elbow joint (septic arthritis) is uncommon. It may occur spontaneously, but may also occur in relation to surgery or infection elsewhere in the body (for example, endocarditis).[31]

Arthritis[edit]

Bursitis[edit]

Main article: Olecranon bursitis

Olecranon bursitis, tenderness, warmth, swelling, pain in both flexion and extension-in chronic case great flexion-is extremely painful.

Elbow pain[edit]

Main article: elbow pain

Elbow pain occurs when the tenderness of the tissues in the elbow become inflamed. Frequent exercise of the inflamed elbow will assist with healing.

Clinical significance[edit]

Tennis elbow[edit]

Golfer's elbow[edit]

Rheumatoid arthritis[edit]

Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic disease that affects joints. It is very common in the wrist, and is most common at the radioulnar joint. It results in pain, stiffness, and deformities.

Cubital tunnel syndrome[edit]

Society and culture[edit]

Other primates[edit]

The elbow is complex and consists of bones, ligaments, nerves, and blood vessels.People use the elbow joints extensively in daily life. Repetitively using or overloading the elbow joint can cause injuries and pain. Understanding how to manage elbow health and reduce potential injuries can help people avoid elbow pain.Type of jointThe elbow joint is a synovial hinge joint, similar to the ankle and knee joints. Two or more bones form hinge joints that move along an axis, rather than rotate like the hip joint. The distal humerus and proximal ulna are the primary elbow joint bones.The hinge joint allows the elbow to bend and straighten. It also helps with hand motion by allowing the forearm to rotate.Anatomy of the elbow jointThe elbow joint includes various bones, ligaments, veins, arteries, and nerves.Share on PinterestBones and ligaments of the elbowOsteologyThe elbow has three articulations, or joints:radiohumeral jointulnohumeral jointproximal radioulnar jointStability comes mainly from the bony joints of the ulnar olecranon and the trochlea of the humerus.The olecranon looks like a wrench and has a landmark called the trochlear notch. The trochlea of the humerus fits in the trochlear notch. This is the main point where the elbow pivots while bending and straightening.The trochlear notch wraps about 180 degrees around the humerus, and the tight fit of the two structures enables greater stability.LigamentsAside from the bones, elbow stability comes from the lateral collateral ligament (LCL) and the medial collateral ligament (MCL). These ligaments form the joint capsule.The LCL breaks down into the following ligaments: lateral radial collateral ligamentannular ligamentlateral ulnar collateral ligamentThe annular ligament stabilizes the proximal radioulnar joint. The lateral ulnar collateral ligament ensures that the elbow does not rotate too far towards the back of the body.The MCL breaks down into the following ligaments: posterior oblique ligamentanterior oblique ligamenttransverse ligamentThe anterior oblique ligament keeps the elbow from bending toward the body.Share on PinterestNerves of the elbowNervesThe cubital tunnel is a space in the elbow that houses the ulnar nerve and allows it to pass through the ligaments of the elbow. The nerves that cross the elbow joint mainly go to the forearm and hand structures. The elbow joint is a crossing space for most of the nerves and blood vessels in the upper extremities of the body.Blood supplyThe brachial artery transports blood from the shoulder to the elbow. It splits into two arteries at the elbow, called the radial and ulnar arteries. Both arteries travel across the front of the elbow. Once they reach the forearm, the radial artery travels along the thumbs side of the forearm towards the wrist, and the ulnar artery travels along the pinky finger side of the forearm towards the wrist.Common causes of elbow painThe elbows are complicated joints that people use daily. Overloading or overusing the elbows can lead to injuries and inflammation. That includes:BursitisBursitis is inflammation of the bursa, which is a small fluid-filled sac. Causes of bursitis include: overuseinjuryinfectionother inflammatory processesSymptoms of bursitis include: painswellingrestriction to movementBursitis treatment includes: pain medicinesresticeA doctor may inject a drug into the area surrounding the swollen bursa if another treatment is not helping. If elbow health does not improve after 6 to 12 months, a doctor may suggest surgery to repair damage and relieve pressure.Dislocated elbowA dislocated elbow occurs when the joint surfaces of the elbow separate. Trauma, such as a fall, is often the cause. A dislocation can be complete or partial depending on whether the joint surfaces separate entirely or partially.Complete dislocations are extremely painful. In these cases, the elbow looks deformed or oddly twisted. Partial dislocations may appear normal, but cause pain or some bruising on the inside and outside of the elbow.A doctor must realign the elbow using a reduction maneuver. Individuals with complex cases may need surgery to realign the bones and repair ligaments.Medial epicondylitisMedial epicondylitis, or golfer’s elbow, is a common ailment caused by repetitive bending and force on the elbow joint. People who play sports such as golf and baseball and professionals such as plumbers and construction workers are more likely to experience this injury.Golfer’s elbow symptoms include irritation and pain where the tendon attaches to the bone. Common treatments include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), ice, and steroid injections.OsteoarthritisElbow osteoarthritis happens when the cartilage becomes damaged or wears out. While this can result from a previous injury, such as dislocation or fracture, it usually comes from normal cartilage wear from activity and age. Symptoms include pain and a loss of range of motion.Early treatment includes physical therapy, activity moderation, and oral medications to reduce or alleviate pain. Corticosteroids are another treatment option for early-stage osteoarthritis. If these treatments do not control symptoms, surgery may be the next step.Rheumatoid arthritisRheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease where the immune system attacks the linings of joints and sometimes the internal organs. Symptoms include:joint painswellinginflammationloss of functionTreatment includes medication and self-management strategies. Self-management strategies to reduce pain and disability include having an active lifestyle, maintaining a moderate weight, and avoiding joint injuries.SprainAn elbow sprain involves pulling or tearing ligaments in the elbow joint. Symptoms include: painswellingbruisingrednessdifficulty using the elbowTreatment includes using a sling, cast, or splint to prevent movement, or surgery to repair torn ligaments.Share on PinterestMuscles of the elbowLateral epicondylitisLateral epicondylitis, or tennis elbow, is an inflammation or micro-tearing of the tendons that join the forearm muscle to the outside of the elbow. Symptoms include pain or burning on the outer part of the elbow and weak grip strength.This is often treatable through:restmedicationuse of a bracesteroid injectionsextracorporeal shock wave therapyphysical therapy If these treatments are not successful after 6 to 12 months, surgery may be necessary to remove diseased muscles and reattach healthy muscle to the bone.Keeping the elbow joint healthyThese tips can help keep the elbow joints healthy and reduce the risk of injury:Participate in regular physical activity to ease joint stiffness and strengthen muscles surrounding the joints.Avoid overworking the joints and listen to pain signals.Maintain proper form in sports.Try an anti-inflammatory diet, especially if an individual has arthritis or other inflammatory conditions.SummaryThe elbow is a synovial joint that aids in flexion and extension. It is a crossing point for the nerves and blood vessels of the upper arm and forearm.Many injuries and conditions cause elbow pain. However, exercising, avoiding overuse, maintaining proper form when doing activities, and following an anti-inflammatory diet can help keep the elbow joint healthy.

ElbowHuman elbowElbow jointDetailsIdentifiersLatinarticulatio cubitiMeSHD004550TA98A01.1.00.023TA2145FMA24901Anatomical terminology[edit on Wikidata]

The term elbow is specifically used for humans and other primates, and in other vertebrates forelimb plus joint is used.[1]

The name for the elbow in Latin is cubitus, and so the word cubital is used in some elbow-related terms, as in cubital nodes for example.

Structure[edit]

Joint[edit]

Joint

From

Description

Humeroulnar joint

trochlear notch of the ulna

trochlea of humerus

Is a simple hinge-joint, and allows for movements of flexion and extension only.

Humeroradial joint

head of the radius

capitulum of the humerus

Is a ball-and-socket joint.

Proximal radioulnar joint

head of the radius

radial notch of the ulna

In any position of flexion or extension, the radius, carrying the hand with it, can be rotated in it. This movement includes pronation and supination.

Left elbow extended and flexed

The superior radioulnar joint shares the joint capsule with the elbow joint but plays no functional role at the elbow.[7]

Joint capsule[edit]

Capsule of elbow-joint (distended). Anterior and posterior aspects.

The elbow joint and the superior radioulnar joint are enclosed by a single fibrous capsule. The capsule is strengthened by ligaments at the sides but is relatively weak in front and behind.[8]

Synovial membrane[edit]

Several synovial folds project into the recesses of the joint.[8]

These folds or plicae are remnants of normal embryonic development and can be categorized as either anterior (anterior humeral recess) or posterior (olecranon recess).[9]

A crescent-shaped fold is commonly present between the head of the radius and the capitulum of the humerus.[8]

Ligaments[edit]

Left elbow-jointLeft: anterior and ulnar collateral ligamentsRight: posterior and radial collateral ligaments

Muscles[edit]

Flexion[edit]

There are three main flexor muscles at the elbow:[10]

A small accessory muscle, so called epitrochleoanconeus muscle, may be found on the medial aspect of the elbow running from the medial epicondyle to the olecranon.[13]

Extension[edit]

Blood supply[edit]

The anastomosis and deep veins around the elbow-joint

The blood is brought back by vessels from the radial, ulnar, and brachial veins.

Nerve supply[edit]

The elbow is innervated anteriorly by branches from the musculocutaneous, median, and radial nerve, and posteriorly from the ulnar nerve and the branch of the radial nerve to anconeus.[14]

Development[edit]

Function[edit]

Carrying angle[edit]

Normal radiograph; right picture of the straightened arm shows the carrying angle of the elbow

Pathology[edit]

Left: Lateral X ray of a dislocated right elbowRight: AP X ray of a dislocated right elbow

The types of disease most commonly seen at the elbow are due to injury.

Tendonitis[edit]

Fractures[edit]

Dislocation[edit]

X-ray of ventral dislocation of the radial head. There is calcification of annular ligament, which can be seen as early as 2 weeks after injury.[29]

A full dislocation of the elbow will require expert medical attention to re-align, and recovery can take approximately 6 weeks.[citation needed]

Infection[edit]

Infection of the elbow joint (septic arthritis) is uncommon. It may occur spontaneously, but may also occur in relation to surgery or infection elsewhere in the body (for example, endocarditis).[31]

Arthritis[edit]

Bursitis[edit]

Main article: Olecranon bursitis

Olecranon bursitis, tenderness, warmth, swelling, pain in both flexion and extension-in chronic case great flexion-is extremely painful.

Elbow pain[edit]

Main article: elbow pain

Elbow pain occurs when the tenderness of the tissues in the elbow become inflamed. Frequent exercise of the inflamed elbow will assist with healing.

Clinical significance[edit]

Tennis elbow[edit]

Golfer's elbow[edit]

Rheumatoid arthritis[edit]

Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic disease that affects joints. It is very common in the wrist, and is most common at the radioulnar joint. It results in pain, stiffness, and deformities.

Cubital tunnel syndrome[edit]

Society and culture[edit]

Other primates[edit]
