During activities such as overhand baseball pitching, this ligament is subjected to extreme tension, which places the overhand-throwing athlete at risk for injury. [4] Acute or chronic disruption and/or attenuation of the ulnar collateral ligament often result in medial elbow pain, valgus instability, and impaired throwing performance. There ...
the radial collateral ligament [proper] (RCL), from the lateral epicondyle to the annular ligament deep to the common extensor tendon [1] the lateral ulnar collateral ligament (LUCL), from the lateral epicondyle [3] to the supinator crest on the ulna. Near the attachment on the humerus this ligament is normally indistinguishable from the RCL ...
The humeroulnar joint (ulnohumeral or trochlear joint [1]) is part of the elbow-joint.It is composed of two bones, the humerus and ulna, and is the junction between the trochlear notch of ulna and the trochlea of humerus. [1]
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 ] This nerve is directly connected to the little finger , and the adjacent half of the ring finger , innervating the palmar aspect of these fingers, including both ...
Beneath the neck of the radius, on the medial side, is an eminence, the radial tuberosity; its surface is divided into: . a posterior, rough portion, for the insertion of the tendon of the biceps brachii.
The flexor tendon is approximately 3 centimetres (1.2 in) long, crosses the medial aspect of the elbow, and runs parallel to the ulnar collateral ligament. [ 1 ] The injury is not acute inflammation , but rather is a chronic disorder resulting from overuse of a repetitive arm motion.

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 .
