Elbow flexion explored in 3D - muscles and ligaments of the moving elbow joint 3D visualization

Let’s study this 3D visualization of elbow flexion and extension 👇

The elbow is a complex hinge joint essential for forearm movement, enabling flexion (bending) and extension (straightening). It consists of three bones: the humerus, ulna, and radius, which allow bending, straightening, and slight rotation.

Muscles involved:
🔻Flexion: mainly the biceps brachii, brachialis, and brachioradialis, which reduce the angle between the forearm and upper arm.
🔻Extension: primarily the triceps brachii and anconeus muscle, which increase the angle, straightening the arm.
