   Is the elbow a synovial or hinge joint?

   • The elbow is the joint connecting the proper arm to the forearm. It is marked on the upper limb by the medial and lateral epicondyles, and the olecranon process. Structually, the joint is classed as a synovial joint, and functionally as a hinge joint.

   Is elbow joint a hinge joint?

   • As the elbow joint is a hinge joint, movement is in only one plane. The movements at the elbow joint involve movement of the forearm at the elbow joint. Flexion of the forearm at the elbow joint involves decreasing the angle between the forearm and the arm at the elbow joint. Extension involves increasing the angle between the arm and forearm.

   Is the elbow a pivot or hinge joint?

   • Functionally, the elbow is both a hinge joint and a pivot joint (a trochoginglymus joint). Hinge joints move just like the hinges that hold a door in place. They have a few parts that don’t move, but other pieces travel a specific distance to open and close. Your elbow hinges to bend and straighten your arm. It’s also a pivot joint.

   How many types of synovial joints are there?

   • The hinge joint is one of six types of synovial joints along with the plane, ellipsoid, ball and socket, pivot and saddle joints. The hinge joint is a uni-axial synovial joint that functions much like a hinge on a door. It allows bones to move in one plane with a limited movement along other planes.

   How is the elbow joint innervated?

   • The elbow joint is innervated by branches of the medial, musculocutaneous, radial and ulnar nerves. The orientation of the bones forming the elbow joint produces a hinge type synovial joint, which allows for extension and flexion of the forearm:

   What parts of the body have hinge joints?

   • They allow bones to move in one direction back and forth. The fingers, toes, elbows, knees, and ankles contain hinge joints. Hinge joints are complex and contain many muscles and tissues. Osteoarthritis and trauma can cause pain and dysfunction in various parts of these joints. In this article, we look at the anatomy and function of hinge joints.

   Subcutaneous bursitis: Repeated friction and pressure on the bursa can cause it to become inflamed. Because this bursa lies relatively superficially, it can also become infected (e.g cut from a fall on the elbow)

   Subtendinous bursitis: This is caused by repeated flexion and extension of the forearm, commonly seen in assembly line workers. Usually flexion is more painful as more pressure is put on the bursa. An elbow dislocation usually occurs when a young child falls on a hand with the elbow flexed. The distal end of the humerus is driven through the weakes...

   Most elbow dislocations are posterior, and it is important to note that elbow dislocations are named by the position of the ulna and radius, not the humerus.

   Most of the flexor and extensor muscles in the forearm have a common tendinous origin. The flexor muscles originate from the medial epicondyle, and the extensor muscles from the lateral. Sportspersons can develop an overuse strain of the common tendon which results in pain and inflammation around the area of the affected epicondyle.

   Direct damage, or swelling can cause the interference to the blood supply of the forearm via the brachial artery. The resulting ischaemia can cause Volkmanns ischaemic contracture uncontrolled flexion of the hand, as flexors muscles become fibrotic and short. There also can be damage to the medial, ulnar or radial nerves. As a result, the neurovas...

   A synovial membrane — a fluid-filled sac that lubricates and protects the joint — lines the space between the bones. This extra cushioning helps synovial joints move with as little friction as possible. Functionally, the elbow is both a hinge joint and a pivot joint (a trochoginglymus joint).

    Three bones make up the elbow joint: the distal end of the humerus and the proximal ends of the ulna and radius. The ulna and the radius are both forearm bones. Their distal ends form the wrist joint.
