Summary Introduction

To determine:

The main supporting ligaments of the elbow joint.

Introduction:

The freely mobile articulations are synovial joints. These joints are separated by a space called a joint activity. The movement of a bone at a synovial joint is described with respect to three intersecting perpendicular planes. These planes are uniaxial, biaxial, and multiaxial. The ligaments are the strong pieces of cartilage that join one bone to another. They provide support to the joints for their movement.
