Key Learning Points

1. The elbow joint is comprised of three articulations; the humeroulnar, radiocapitellar and proximal radioulnar joints.

2. The articulations are surrounded buy a joint capsule with condensations that form the lateral ligament complex and medial collateral ligament.

3. Three important nerves cross the elbow joint; the ulnar nerve, median nerve and radial nerve.

4. The elbow is supplied by the brachial, radial and ulnar arteries and their recurrent branches. The radial head is intracapsular and relies on retrograde blood flow.

1.1 Introduction

A thorough understanding of the anatomical structures is fundamental to correct diagnosis and safe treatment of disorders of the elbow. This chapter provides an overview of the surgical anatomy, and is divided into four anatomical sections: osteoarticular, capsuloligamentous, muscular and neurovascular.

1.2 Osteoarticular Anatomy

The elbow joint is comprised of three articulations: the humeroulnar , radiocapitellar and proximal radioulnar joints (although located within the capsule of the elbow joint this is really a part of the forearm joint).

1.2.1 The Humerus

The humerus terminates distally as a medial and lateral column, each forming a condyle and an epicondyle. These two columns hold the trochlea and the capitellum. The trochlea is an asymmetrical spool-shaped surface that articulates with the greater sigmoid notch of the olecranon. Its medial aspect projects further distally. The capitellum is hemispherical in shape and articulates with the concave surfaced radial head. The trochlear groove separates the two articular surfaces (Fig. ).

Fig. 1.1

Anterior view of right distal humerus

The trochlear-capitellar articular surface is internally rotated approximately 57 in relation to the epicondylar axis []. This is an important issue when the joint axis of rotation is to be surgically reproduced (fixation of fracture or application of a dynamic external fixator). In the sagittal plane the articular surface of the humerus protrudes approximately 30 anterior to the long axis of the humerus.

On the anterior surface of the humerus, proximal to the articular surface, lie the coronoid and radial fossae. These accommodate the coronoid process and radial head when the elbow is in full flexion. Similarly, on the posterior aspect of the humerus, the olecranon fossa accommodates the olecranon process of the ulna, permitting full extension of the elbow. The normal range of elbow flexion/extension is approximately 0150, with 30130 necessary to maintain a functional arc [).

1.2.2 The Ulna

The main articulating portion of the proximal ulna is the greater sigmoid (or trochlear) notch. It is formed predominantly by the olecranon, with the coronoid process extending the joint surface anteriorly ( Fig. ). It is elliptical in shape, with a longitudinal ridge conveying a stable and congruent articulation with the trochlea, forming the humeroulnar joint. It is oriented approximately 30 posterior to the long axis of the ulna to match the anterior angulation of the distal humerus. The coronoid process is comprised of a large anteromedial facet and smaller anterolateral facet that articulate with the medial trochlea and lateral trochlea respectively.
