[Anatomical basis for dislocations and recurring dislocations of the elbow]
Abstract:
The authors report on a static and dynamic study of the lig. collaterale radiale. The essential role of the middle bundle, which can always be isolated on fresh cadaver, is stressed. A new theory on the mechanism of elbow dislocation is thus justified. By analogy with recurring dislocations of the shoulder, the authors consider that operations attempting to reestablish the tension of this ligament are justified. Such operations can be focused on the middle bundle of the lig. collaterale radiale.

Functional Classification of Joints
The functional classification of joints is determined by the amount of mobility between the adjacent bones. Joints are functionally classified as a synarthrosis or immobile joint, an amphiarthrosis or slightly moveable joint, or as a diarthrosis, a freely moveable joint. Fibrous and cartilaginous joints can be functionally classified as either synarthroses or amphiarthroses, whereas all synovial joints are classified as diarthroses.
