Biomechanics of the Elbow
Stability of the elbow - static and dynamic constraints
 3 primary static constraints
Ulnohumeral articulation,
the anterior bundle of the MCL
the lateral collateral ligament (LCL) complex
 4 Secondary constraints
Radiocapitellar articulation,
the common flexor tendon,
the common extensor tendon,
the capsule.
 Dynamic stabilizers - Muscles that cross the elbow joint
Osteoarticular anatomy
 The articular surfaces of the
elbow joint
distal humerus,
the proximal ulna,
proximal radius are
The elbow
-trochleogingylomoid joint
hinged (ginglymoid) motion in
flexion and extension at the
ulnohumeral and radiocapitellar
articulations
radial (trochoid) motion in
pronation and supination at the
proximal radioulnar joint
Osseous stability - enhanced
in flexion
coronoid process locks into the
coronoid fossa of the distal
humerus
radial head is contained in the
radial fossa of the distal humerus
Osseous stability - enhanced
in extension
the tip of the olecranon rotates
into the olecranon fossa.
The sublime tubercle is the
attachment site for the anterior
bundle of the MCL.
Capsuloligamentous anatomy
 The static soft tissue
stabilizers
the anterior and posterior
joint capsule
the medial and LCL
complexes.
The collateral ligament
complexes are medial and
lateral capsular thickenings
The MCL complex
 3 components:
the anterior bundle or
anterior MCL,
 the posterior bundle,
 the transverse ligament
The origin of the MCL is at
the anteroinferior surface
of the medial epicondyle.
AMCL
inserts on the anteromedial
aspect of the coronoid process,
the sublime tubercle.
Provide significant stability
against valgus force
one of the primary static
constraints of the elbow
The anterior bundle - divided
into anterior band posterior
band
The transverse ligament
Runs between the coronoid and the tip of the olecranon
consists of horizontally oriented fibers that often cannot be
separated from the capsule
The LCL complex
 four components
radial collateral ligament,
the lateral ulnar collateral ligament,
the annular ligament,
the accessory collateral ligament
The LCL complex originates along
the inferior surface of the lateral
epicondyle.
dynamic stabilization
Muscles that cross the elbow joint
 Four groups
Elbow flexors,
Elbow extensors,
Forearm flexor-pronators,
Forearm extensors.
 Flexors - biceps,
brachialis,
brachioradialis.
 Extensor - The triceps, Anconeus (minor role)
ELBOW BIOMECHANIC
Pronation-supination
The radiocapitellar and proximal radioulnar joints
The normal range of forearm rotation is 180 with
pronation of 80 to 90 and supination of ~ 90
Most ADL can be accomplished with
100 of forearm rotation
(50 of pronation and 50 of supination)
The normal axis of forearm rotation - the center of the radial
head to the center of the distal ulna
axis of rotation shifts slightly ulnar and volar during
supination
shifts radial and dorsal during pronation
The radius moves proximally with pronation distally with
supination
Forearm rotation - important role in stabilizing the elbow,
especially when the elbow is moved passively.
With passive flexion, the MCL deficient elbow is more stable
in supination,
whereas the LCL-deficient elbow is more stable in pronation
in coronoid fractures that involve more than 50% of the
coronoid with or without an intact MCL
Coronoid
The coronoid process -key role in stabilization of the elbow.
 ‘‘terrible triad,’’
elbow dislocation
radial head and
coronoid fractures.
Fractures involving > 50% of the coronoid shows significantly
increased varus-valgus laxity, even in the setting of repaired
collateral ligaments
The coronoid plays a significant role in posterolateral stability in
combination with the radial head.
Soft tissues that attach to the base of the coronoid include
Anteriorly- Insertion of the anterior capsule and brachialis
Medial- insertion of the MCL.
Proximal radius
The radial head is an important secondary
valgus stabilizer of the elbow (30%)
more important for valgus stability in the presence of
MCL deficiency
Radial head excision also increases varus-valgus Laxity
and posterolateral rotatory instability, regardless of
whether the collateral ligaments are intact
Soft tissue stabilization
Medial collateral ligament complex
AMCL is the primary constraint for valgus and posteromedial
stability
The anterior band of the AMCL - more vulnerable to valgus stress
when the elbow is extended,
The posterior band - more vulnerable when the elbow is flexed.
Complete division causes valgus and internal rotatory instability
throughout the complete arch of flexion with
maximal valgus instability at 70
maximal rotational instability at 60
LCL complex
The LCL is the primary constraint of external rotation
and varus stress at the elbow.
complete sectioning causes varus and posterolateral
rotatory instability and posterior radial head subluxation
The flexion axis of the elbow passes through the origin
of theLCL so that there is uniform tension in the
ligament throughout the arc of flexion.
damage to the LCLcomplex is the initial injury seen along the
continuum of injuries resulting from elbow dislocation
In Lateral surgical approaches to the elbow for radial head
fixation or replacement.
As long as the annular ligament is intact, the radial collateral
ligament or the lateral ulnar collateral ligament can be cut
and repaired without causing instability
Muscles
Muscles that cross the elbow joint act as
dynamic stabilizers as they compress the joint.
Compression of the elbow joint by the muscles protects
the soft tissue constraints.
throwing an object can cause a valgus stress that is
greater than the failure strength of the MCL.
The flexor-pronator muscle group contracts during the
throwing motion and provides dynamic stabilization to
the medial aspect of the elbow, which protects the MCL
from injury
Joint forces
 significant compressive and shear forces at the elbow Loads across
the elbow - distributed
43% across the ulnohumeral joint and
57% across the radiocapitellar joint
Joint reaction forces vary with elbow position.
Force transmission at the radiocapitellar joint is Greatest between
0 and 30 of flexion and is greater in pronation than in supination.
elbow - extended, the overall force on the ulnohumeral joint is
concentrated at the coronoid
elbow - flexed, the force moves toward the olecranon
