About Your Elbows
The elbow joint is a complex hinge joint formed between the distal end of the humerus in the upper arm and the proximal ends of the ulna and radius in the forearm. A network of ligaments and tendons support your elbow, connecting your muscles to the bones and providing stability. The elbow allows a wide range of movement including flexing, extending, and twisting your arm.
About Your Hands and Wrists
In each of your hands, including the wrists, you have 27 bones, 27 joints, 34 muscles, and over 100 ligaments and tendons. This complex and delicate musculoskeletal network allows you to perform fine motor movements such as picking up and grasping small items, buttoning shirts, and typing.
