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 oblique cord is a ligament between the ulnar and radius bones in the forearm near the elbow.It takes the form of a small, flattened band, extending distally and laterally, from the lateral side of the ulnar tuberosity at the base of the coronoid process to the radius a little below the radial tuberosity.

Ulnar collateral ligament (or UCL) may refer to: Ulnar carpal collateral ligament; Ulnar collateral ligament of elbow joint; Ulnar collateral ligament of thumb
Its borders present continuations of the groove on the margin of the superior surface; they serve for the attachment of ligaments: the back part of the ulnar collateral ligament medially, and the posterior ligament laterally. From the medial border a part of the flexor carpi ulnaris arises; while to the lateral border the anconeus is attached.
Collateral ligament can refer to: Lateral collateral ligament (disambiguation): Fibular collateral ligament; Lateral collateral ligament of ankle joint; Radial collateral ligament of elbow joint; Medial collateral ligament; Collateral ligaments of interphalangeal articulations of foot; Collateral ligaments of metatarsophalangeal articulations
In human anatomy, the radial (RCL) and ulnar (UCL) collateral ligaments of the metacarpophalangeal joints (MCP) of the hand are the primary stabilisers of the MCP joints. [1] A collateral ligament flanks each MCP joint - one on either side. Each attaches proximally at the head of the metacarpal bone, and distally at the base of the phalynx.
The triquetral bone may be distinguished by its pyramidal shape, and by an oval isolated facet for articulation with the pisiform bone. It is situated at the upper and ulnar side of the carpus. To facilitate its palpation in an exam, the hand must be radially deviated so that the triquetrium moves out from under the ulnar styloid process.
