radioulnar

The capsular ligament is a large, loose membrane which encloses the articular portion of the humerus with the radius and ulna and also the radioulnar articulation.

—The elbow-joint comprises three different portions—viz., the joint between the ulna and humerus, that between the head of the radius and the humerus, and the proximal radioulnar articulation, described below.

The Volar Radioulnar Ligament (anterior radioulnar ligament) (Fig. 334).

III. Syndesmology. 6e. Radioulnar Articulation 1918

Distal Radioulnar Articulation (articulatio radioulnaris distalis; inferior radioulnar joint).

III. Syndesmology. 6e. Radioulnar Articulation 1918

Both surfaces are clothed by synovial membrane; the upper, by that of the distal radioulnar articulation, the under, by that of the wrist.

III. Syndesmology. 6e. Radioulnar Articulation 1918

In any position of flexion or extension, the radius, carrying the hand with it, can be rotated in the proximal radioulnar joint.

III. Syndesmology. 6d. Elbow-joint 1918

The ligament is perforated by apertures for the passage of vessels, and is in relation, in front, with the tendons of the Flexor digitorum profundus and Flexor pollicis longus; behind, it is closely adherent to the anterior border of the articular disk of the distal radioulnar articulation.

III. Syndesmology. 1F. Radiocarpal Articulation or Wrist-joint 1918

The ligaments may, consequently, be subdivided into three sets: 1, those of the proximal radioulnar articulation; 2, the middle radioulnar ligaments; 3, those of the distal radioulnar articulation.

III. Syndesmology. 6e. Radioulnar Articulation 1918

In the proximal radioulnar articulation, the ring is formed by the radial notch of the ulna and the annular ligament; here, the head of the radius rotates within the ring.

III. Syndesmology. 3. Classification of Joints 1918

Proximal Radioulnar Articulation (articulatio radioulnaris proximalis; superior radioulnar joint).
