    The spiralling nature of the trochlear groove results in the varying transverse axes of the elbow joint. [3] Most frequently, the groove is vertical on the anterior side but runs down laterally on the posterior side. During elbow flexion, the vertical anterior part of the trochlea keeps the upper arm and forearm aligned (when viewed in front).

    In comparative anatomy, the more neutral term entepicondyle is used. The medial epicondyle gives attachment to the ulnar collateral ligament of elbow joint , to the pronator teres , and to a common tendon of origin (the common flexor tendon ) of some of the flexor muscles of the forearm : the flexor carpi radialis , the flexor carpi ulnaris ...

    In comparative anatomy, the term ectepicondyle is sometimes used. [2] A common injury associated with the lateral epicondyle of the humerus is lateral epicondylitis also known as tennis elbow. Repetitive overuse of the forearm, as seen in tennis or other sports, can result in inflammation of "the tendons that join the forearm muscles on the ...
