APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The forearm may be extended and bent because of the position of the bones in the elbow joint, which creates a hinge like a synovial joint.

Detailed explanation-2: -The hinge joint allows movements in one plane only. The knee joint, elbow joint, ankle joint and the joints between the phalanges are all examples of a hinge joint.

Detailed explanation-3: -The elbow joint is a synovial hinge joint, similar to the ankle and knee joints. Two or more bones form hinge joints that move along an axis, rather than rotate like the hip joint. The distal humerus and proximal ulna are the primary elbow joint bones. The hinge joint allows the elbow to bend and straighten.

Detailed explanation-4: -The hinge joint is a uni-axial synovial joint that functions much like a hinge on a door. It allows bones to move in one plane with a limited movement along other planes. It typically connects two bones and includes a convex surface of one bone that articulates with a concave surface of the other bone.

Detailed explanation-5: -The elbow is the joint that bends your arm. It helps you to lift and move objects. It is a modified hinge joint made up of three bones. These are the humerus (bone of the upper arm) and the forearm bones, known as the radius and ulna.
