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.
Joint From To Description Humeroulnar joint: trochlear notch of the ulna: trochlea of humerus: Is a simple hinge-joint, and allows for movements of flexion and extension only. Humeroradial joint: head of the radius: capitulum of the humerus: Is a ball-and-socket joint. Proximal radioulnar joint: head of the radius: radial notch of the ulna
The anconeus muscle (or anconaeus/anconæus) is a small muscle on the posterior aspect of the elbow joint. Some consider anconeus to be a continuation of the triceps brachii muscle. [1] [2] [3] Some sources consider it to be part of the posterior compartment of the arm, [4] while others consider it part of the posterior compartment of the ...
The anconeus, assisting in extension of the elbow joint, is by some considered part of the posterior compartment of the arm. The majority of muscles found in the posterior compartment are extrinsic , meaning that their origin has some distance from the part moved.
The triceps brachii and anconeus extend the elbow, and attach to the posterior side of the humerus. The four muscles of supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor and subscapularis form a musculo-ligamentous girdle called the rotator cuff. This cuff stabilizes the very mobile but inherently unstable glenohumeral joint. The other muscles are used ...

The epitrochleoanconeus muscle (anconeous epitrochlearis muscle, anconeus-epitrochlearis or anconeus sextus) is a small accessory muscle of the arm which runs from the back of the inner condyle of the humerus over the ulnar nerve to the olecranon. The average prevalence of this muscle is 14.2% in healthy individuals.
