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 olecranon is situated at the proximal end of the ulna, one of the two bones in the forearm. [1] When the hand faces forward ( supination ) the olecranon faces towards the back (posteriorly). It is bent forward at the summit so as to present a prominent lip which is received into the olecranon fossa of the humerus during extension of the ...
Anatomy of the ulnar collateral ligament in the pitcher's elbow. Pain along the inside of the elbow is the main symptom of this condition. Throwing athletes report it occurs most often during the acceleration phase of throwing. The injury is often associated with an experience of a sharp “pop” in the elbow, followed by pain during a single ...
the radial collateral ligament [proper] (RCL), from the lateral epicondyle to the annular ligament deep to the common extensor tendon [1] the lateral ulnar collateral ligament (LUCL), from the lateral epicondyle [3] to the supinator crest on the ulna. Near the attachment on the humerus this ligament is normally indistinguishable from the RCL ...
Beneath the neck of the radius, on the medial side, is an eminence, the radial tuberosity; its surface is divided into: . a posterior, rough portion, for the insertion of the tendon of the biceps brachii.
The elbow is the region between the upper arm and the forearm that surrounds the elbow joint. [1] The elbow includes prominent landmarks such as the olecranon , the cubital fossa (also called the chelidon, or the elbow pit), and the lateral and the medial epicondyles of the humerus .
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.
