The elbow is a hinge like joint that allow high level human function such as throwing. Three structures contribute to this function – bone, cartilage, and ligaments. The bony architecture of the elbow is that of a hinge joint. As with other joints the joint surfaces of the elbow are lined by a thin layer of articular cartilage that help the elbow move freely without friction. The elbow is stabilized by important ligaments – the MUCL (medial ulna collateral ligament), the LUCL (lateral ulna collateral ligament), and the RCL (radial collateral ligament. Several tendons traverse the elbow joint such as the biceps tendon, the wrist extensor and flexor tendons. An injury to any one of these systems can lead to elbow pain and dysfunction.

The ankle is a hinge like joint that allow bipedal human ambulation. Four structures contribute to this function – bone, cartilage, tendon, and ligaments. The bony architecture of the ankle is that of a hinge joint. As with other joints the joint surfaces of the ankle are lined by a thin layer of articular cartilage that help the ankle move freely without friction. The ankle is stabilized by important ligaments – on the outside of the ankle there are three ligaments and on the inside one main ligament called the deltoid. Several tendons traverse the ankle joint the most important one being the Achilles tendon. An injury to any one of these systems can lead to ankle pain and dysfunction.
