Your Elbow and Forearm

Like the knee, the elbow is also a hinge joint. It connects the humerus bone with the radius and ulna bones of the lower arm. The elbow is built of many complex muscles, tendons, and ligaments. The build of the elbow is more than a simple hinge joint; it allows proper rotation using a unique arrangement of tissues.
