AB The  elbow  joint  is  a  hinge  joint  with  a  loose  capsule  and  collateral  ligaments.  The  capsule  is  situated  along  the  anterior  and  posterior  aspect  of  the  joint,  restricting  flexion–extension  movements,  whereas  the  collateral  ligaments  prevent  medial  and  lateral  movements.  The  articulating  bones  include  the  distal  humerus,  proximal  radius,  and  ulna.  The  medial  humeral  condyle,  also  known  as  the  trochlea,  articulates  with  the  upper  end  of  the  ulna  known  as  the  coronoid  process.  The  humeroradial  part  of  the  joint  consists  of  the  capitellum  (distal  humerus)  and  head  of  the  radius.
