TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - RADIOLOGIC EVALUATION OF THE ELBOW A1 - McKinnis, Lynn N. Y1 - 2014 N1 - T2 - Fundamentals of Musculoskeletal Imaging AB - The elbow is the anatomic junction between the arm and forearm. Whereas the shoulder functions to place the upper extremity anywhere within the wide sphere of its range of motion, the elbow functions to adjust the extremity's height and length and the functional position of the hand to accomplish prehensile tasks efficiently. The elbow's three separate synovial articulations housed within one joint capsule present unique challenges to clinicians involved in treating trauma and dysfunction at this joint. SN - PB - F. A.
