Ligaments of the elbow

Lateral Ulnar Collateral

The lower aspect beneath the Radial collateral Ligament

Medial Ulnar Collateral

thick triangular band at the medial aspect of the elbow, primary Elbow Stabilizer distal aspect of the humerus to the proximal aspect of the ulna two portions: an anterior bundle and posterior bundle united by a thinner transverse ligament also referred to as the medial collateral ligament and should not be confused with the Lateral Ulnar Collateral Ligament (LUCL)

Radial Collateral Ligament

-Stretches from lateral epicondyle of humerus to the annular ligament and lateral side of the ulna -Stabilizes the lateral side of the elbow joint -prevents medial flexion and lateral translation of the elbow joint. -Stabilizes the elbow during flexion.

Annular Ligament

-is a strong band of fibers that encircles the head of the radius -Keeps it in contact with the radial notch of the ulna -attached by both the anterior and posterior margins of the radial notch of the ulna -its flexibility permits the slightly oval head of the radius to rotate freely during pronation and supination
