Line 1:
Line 1: − + − The point of the elbow is anatomically named the olecranon, and is part of the ulna bone forming a groove into which the condyle of the humerus sits, forming the articulation. The pit of the elbow is known as the anticubital fossa.+ − − The elbow is a [[synovial]] joint.
A rewrite should not lead to greater difficulty in understanding the subject; when you can mix technical understanding with the easy to follow simplicity that was there, then try again
The '''elbow''' is the [[joint]] between the arm and forearm. The principal articulation is between the [[humerus]] and the paired [[radius_(bone)|radius]] and [[ulna]] bones, allowing for a hinge-like motion which bends the upper limbs. A secondary articulation at the joint, primarily between the radius and ulna, allows for [[pronation]] and [[supination]] (rotation) of the forearm.
The '''elbow''' is the [[bone]] of the [[arm]] that bends inward and sections off the [[forearm]] from the rest of the arm.
Elbows are constructed from a hinge [[joint]].
