Understanding how the elbow works
For all that goes on in our elbow, it could almost use its own skeletal traffic cop. It’s a place where three long bones meet in the middle portion of our arm, making it one of the more complex structures in the body. Among its other duties, our elbows allow us to extend and flex our forearms and rotate our hands.
