The ELbow 


Anatomy

The elbow joint is comprised of three joints, connecting the humerus, radius, and ulna. These three bones form the humero-ulnar joint, the radio-ulnar joint, and the humero-radial joint. The primary point of articulation at the elbow is the trochlea of the humerus with the trochlear notch of the ulnea. However, the head of the radius also articulates with the humerus, as well as with the ulna.  This joint is classified as a hinge joint due to its ability for extension, flexion, and rotation. However, the elbow can also slightly flex laterally (abduction and adduction) through the application of valgus or varus forces. Excessive and/or chronic valgus or varus force on the elbow joint can result in common conditions of the elbow, including "Tennis Elbow".
