Health and Medical Sciences: Elbow

Bursitis, inflammation of a synovial bursa, the lubricating sac located around joints or between tendons and muscles or bones.

Elbow, in human anatomy, hinge joint formed by the meeting of the humerus (bone of the upper arm) and the radius and ulna (bones of the forearm).

As with many human joints, the relatively simple anatomy of the elbow disguises a remarkable capability in both its range of motion as well as the forces it is capable of bearing.

An elbow fracture is a break in one or more of the 3 bones that form your elbow joint.

Tennis elbow is a type of tendonitis (inflammation of a tendon) that is caused by overuse of the forearm muscles.
