Each of these bones has a distinct shape and forms a couple joint with the other two bones. The ball-socket junction allows the elbow to rotate along the humerus bone axis with the palm faced up and down, known as supination and pronation, while the hinge junction enables the arm to bend and extend at the elbow allowing flexion and extension movements. Various types of ligaments and tendons surround the elbow joint to hold the bones in place and contract or relax according to the pressure exerted on the joint. What Is A Dislocated Elbow?
