Abstract
|
|
|
|
The elbow and the wrist are anatomic linkages bridging the hand to the shoulder, and act to enhance flexibility in hand function and placement. Many muscles, tendons and neurovascular bundles are located around the elbow and the wrist. In addition to the complex bony architecture of the joints, the elbow and the wrist are stabilized by many ligamentous complexes. It is very important to understand the anatomy and biomechanics of these joints for accurate diagnosis and proper treatment of the disease or trauma of the elbow and wrist.
