|---|---|
| Primary bones of the elbow complex include.... | the humerus, the ulna and the radius |
| The elbow complex includes three different joints all contained within the same joint capsule, Name them. | The humeroulnar joint The humeroradial joint The proximal radioulnar joint |
| The humeroulnar joint is made up of.... | Trochlea and ulna |
| The humeroradial joint is made up of | Capitulum and the radial head |
| The proximal radioulnar joint is made up of | Radius and the ulna |
| The joint is very stable and has good ligamentous support. Name the three. | Ulnar collateral lig. Radial collateral lig. Annular ligament of radius |
| The elbow is considered a ________ ________ joint with _____ degree of freedom. Name the movements. | loose hinge joint 1 degree of freedom Flexion / Extension |
| Which nerves move across the elbow joint? | The ulnar, radial and median nerves |
| The ________ nerve crosses behind the posterior medial humeral condyle in the ________ groove | Ulnar nerve Ulnar groove |
| Elbow extension ROM is ? degrees with a ? end feel | 0 degrees of freedom Hard end feel |
| Elbow flexion ROM is about ? to ? degrees with a ? end feel | 140-150 soft end feel |
| The trochlear notch revolves around the trochlea of the humerus. It is also called the... | semilunar notch |
| In full extension the olecranon process glides into the _________ ______ on the posterior humerus | olecranon fossa |
| Because the elbow joint is not perfectly aligned, the forearm lies lateral compared to the position of the humerus This angle is called the.... | Carrying angle |
