  2. Elbow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elbow

    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

  3. Trochlea of humerus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trochlea_of_humerus

    The elbow is a hinge joint with a rotatory component where the trochlea forms the convex, proximal surface which articulates with the concave, distal surface on the ulna, the trochlear notch. While the trochlea together with its associated fossae almost covers a 360° angle, the trochlear notch on the ulna forms a 190° arc and the gap in ...

  4. Humeroulnar joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humeroulnar_joint

    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] It is classified as a simple hinge-joint, which allows for movements of flexion, extension and circumduction.

  5. Humeroradial joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humeroradial_joint

    A subluxation of the humeroradial joint is called a "nursemaid's elbow", also known as radial head subluxation. [1]It is generally caused by a sudden pull on the extended pronated forearm, such as by an adult tugging on an uncooperative child or by swinging the child by the arms during play.

  6. Hinge joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hinge_joint

    The knee joints and ankle joints are less typical, as they allow a slight degree of rotation or of side-to-side movement in certain positions of the limb. The knee is the largest hinge joint in the human body. Hinge and pivot joints are both types of synovial joint. A hinge joint can be considered a modified sellar/saddle joint, with reduced ...

  7. Arm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_arm

    It joins with the scapula at the shoulder joint and with the other long bones of the arm, the ulna and radius at the elbow joint. [6] The elbow is a complex hinge joint between the end of the humerus and the ends of the radius and ulna. [7]

  8. Upper limb - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upper_limb

    The arm proper (brachium), sometimes called the upper arm, [5] the region between the shoulder and the elbow, is composed of the humerus with the elbow joint at its distal end. The elbow joint is a complex of three joints — the humeroradial, humeroulnar, and superior radioulnar joints — the former two allowing flexion and extension whilst ...

  9. Ulna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulna

    It is broader close to the elbow, and narrows as it approaches the wrist. Close to the elbow, the ulna has a bony process, the olecranon process, a hook-like structure that fits into the olecranon fossa of the humerus. This prevents hyperextension and forms a hinge joint with the trochlea of the humerus.
