Forearm and Elbow Anatomy

Skeletal Anatomy of Forearm and Elbow

The forearm consists of two long bones: the radius and the ulna. The ulna is located medially and is both longer and larger than the radius, which runs parallel to it laterally. These two bones are held together by the intervening interosseous membrane.

The elbow joint is a synovial joint that connects the arm and the forearm, providing 150 ْ of extension-flexion movement. It consists of three joints: the humeroulnar joint, the humeroradial joint, and the proximal radioulnar joint, all within one articular capsule.

The elbow joint is supported by three ligaments: 

  • The annular ligament
  • The radial collateral ligament
  • The ulnar collateral ligament

Muscle Anatomy of Forearm and Elbow

The forearm is divided into two compartments by deep fascia: the interosseous membrane, and the fibrous intermuscular septa. This creates an anterior compartment that contains the flexor muscles, and a posterior one that contains the extensor muscles.
