The elbow is a complex, highly constrained joint that provides critical range of motion to the upper extremity needed for performing the normal activities of daily living. The elbow is protected by a fortress of individual static and dynamic constraints that function together to provide stability. Knowing the identity and specific functions of each stabilizing structure facilitates appropriate diagnosis and treatment of the acutely injured elbow.
肘部是一个复杂且受限程度很高的关节,它为上肢提供进行日常生活正常活动所需的关键活动范围。肘部受到一系列个体静态和动态约束机制的保护,这些机制共同作用以提供稳定性。了解每个稳定结构的特性和具体功能有助于对急性损伤的肘部进行恰当的诊断和治疗。
