  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. 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.

  4. Diseases of the foot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diseases_of_the_foot

    The foot may is a complex structure with 26 bones, 33 joints, numerous muscles, nerves and different ligament types. Any part of the foot can be affected by diseases, with symptoms ranging from mild aches to more serious pain hindering one's ability to walk or bear weight. Most minor cases of foot pain can be responded to by home care treatments.

  5. 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.

  6. 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 ...

  8. 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.
