Study Notes
Elbow Capsule Structure
- The annular ligament strengthens the lateral wall of the elbow capsule.
- The annular ligament attaches to the radial notch of the ulna.
- Fatty pads, also known as fat pads, are formed between the synovial membrane and the fibrous layer of the elbow capsule.
- The head of the radius allows for rotation within the annular ligament.
