  2. Annular ligament of radius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annular_ligament_of_radius

    The annular ligament (orbicular ligament) is a strong band of fibers that encircles the head of the radius, and retains it in contact with the radial notch of the ulna. [1] Per Terminologia Anatomica 1998, the spelling is "anular", [2] but the spelling "annular" is frequently encountered.

  3. Pulled elbow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulled_elbow

    In this movement the ulna, which is connected to the humerus by a simple hinge-joint, remains stationary, while the radius rotates, carrying the wrist and hand with it. To allow this rotation, the proximal (elbow) end of the radius is held in proximity to the ulna by a ligament known as the annular ligament.

  4. Elbow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elbow

    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 ...

  5. Proximal radioulnar articulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proximal_radioulnar...

    It occurs between the circumference of the head of the radius and the ring formed by the radial notch of the ulna and the annular ligament. [2] The interosseous membrane of the forearm and the annular ligament stabilise the joint. [2] A number of nerves run close to the proximal radioulnar joint, including: median nerve; musculocutaneous nerve ...

  6. Head of radius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head_of_radius

    The head of the radius has a cylindrical form, and on its upper surface is a shallow cup or fovea for articulation with the capitulum of the humerus.The circumference of the head is smooth; it is broad medially where it articulates with the radial notch of the ulna, narrow in the rest of its extent, which is embraced by the annular ligament.

  7. Ulnar nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulnar_nerve

    The ulnar nerve is a nerve that runs near the ulna, one of the two long bones in the forearm. The ulnar collateral ligament of elbow joint is in relation with the ulnar nerve. The nerve is the largest in the human body unprotected by muscle or bone, so injury is common. [ 1 ]

  8. Radial notch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_notch

    The radial notch of the ulna (lesser sigmoid cavity) is a narrow, oblong, articular depression on the lateral side of the coronoid process; it receives the circumferential articular surface of the head of the radius. It is concave from before backward, and its prominent extremities serve for the attachment of the annular ligament.

  9. Humeroradial joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humeroradial_joint

    The annular ligament binds the head of the radius to the radial notch of the ulna, preventing any separation of the two bones laterally.Therefore, the humeroradial joint is not functionally a ball and socket joint, although the joint surface in itself allows movement in all directions.
