Area of Science:

  • Orthopaedic anatomy
  • Elbow biomechanics

Background:

  • The annular ligament's anatomy and function are not fully detailed in orthopaedic literature.
  • It plays a crucial role in proximal radioulnar and humeroradial joints.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the annular ligament's detailed anatomy.
  • To clarify its relationship with surrounding elbow structures.

Main Methods:

  • Descriptive laboratory study utilizing macroscopic and microscopic dissections.
  • Examined 30 formaldehyde-fixed and 1 fresh human cadaver upper extremities.

Main Results:

  • Identified superior and inferior oblique bands of the annular ligament with distinct proximal and distal ulnar attachments.
  • Observed intimate fusion between annular ligament fibers and the supinator muscle fibers.

Conclusions:

  • The superior and inferior oblique bands secure the annular ligament via proximal and distal ulnar attachments.
  • This study provides a detailed anatomical description of the annular ligament.
