Anterior ligament of elbow
Anterior_ligament_of_elbow The Anterior ligament of the elbow is a significant anatomical structure in the human body, specifically located in the elbow joint. It plays a crucial role in the stability and mobility of the elbow.
Anatomy[edit | edit source]
The anterior ligament of the elbow, also known as the radial collateral ligament, is a triangular band that extends from the anterior aspect of the humerus to the ulna and radius. It is composed of three distinct parts: the oblique band, the radial collateral ligament, and the lateral ulnar collateral ligament.
Function[edit | edit source]
The primary function of the anterior ligament of the elbow is to provide stability to the elbow joint. It prevents excessive movement in the anterior direction and assists in maintaining the alignment of the elbow joint during movement.
Clinical Significance[edit | edit source]
Injury to the anterior ligament of the elbow can result in instability of the elbow joint, leading to conditions such as elbow dislocation or elbow sprain. Treatment may involve physical therapy, orthopedic surgery, or a combination of both.
