Posterior Surface Anatomy
Lateral Epicondyle
• Hinge joint- simple joint where the articulating surfaces allow for motion
in only one direction
•Pivot Joint- allows one bone to rotate
around another bone
Synovial joint- capsule that contains synovial fluid which
nourishes articular cartilage and lubricating the articulating
surfaces. Synovial joints are usually reinforced by accessory
ligaments
Ligaments
• A ligament is a strip or sheet of tough
collagenous connective tissue that attaches a
muscle to a bone.
Bursa- A fibrous sac filled with synovial fluid located between
adjacent muscles or where a tendon passes over a bone
