Elbow

anatomy of elbow jointOur elbow is a complicated mechanism, made up of several bones, muscles and ligaments, all working together to provide an incredible range of motion and stability. The elbow operates as a hinge joint, allowing the arm to bend and straighten. It also acts as a swivel joint which allows the arm to twist. The variety of movement of these two joints allows us to reach, grasp, and turn our arms.
