The elbow joint is made up of the humerus in the upper arm and the two forearm bones, the ulnar and radius. A dislocation occurs when any one of these bones moves out of its correct place. Severe dislocations can not only sustain injury to the joint capsule but can also result in fractures, ligament injury, or nerve and artery damage.
The radial head is the end of the radius bone at your elbow. Together the radial head, the ulnar and the humerus bones form the elbow joint, allowing flexion and extension of the elbow and rotation of the forearm.
Here we run through three different sets of elbow exercises to help improve strength & mobility. If you have any questions please feel free to get in touch!
The elbow is made up of three main bones: the humerus, the radius and the ulna. The elbow joint consists of portions of these three bones: the distal humerus is the centre of the elbow, the radial head moves around the distal humerus and rotates when the wrist is turned, and the olecranon is the bony part of the elbow that protrudes when your arm is flexed and which cups the end of the humerus.
