Anatomy of My Shoulder
Think of the elbow as a system comprising three crucial elements: the upper arm bone (humerus), the two bones of the forearm (the radius and ulna), and a network of ligaments. Together, they form the elbow joint, functioning somewhat like a hinge allowing for bending and straightening, similar to a door hinge. Additionally, muscles and tendons around the elbow act as the powerhouse, facilitating various movements and gripping actions, akin to the intricate mechanics of a pulley system. Understanding this system helps grasp the complexity involved in elbow movements and functionality.
