Описание: Two Minutes of Anatomy: Ulnar Collateral Ligament AKA Medial Collateral Ligament of the Elbow

Ulnar Collateral Ligament AKA Medial Collateral Ligament of the Elbow
Triangular-shaped.
Made of three smaller ligaments: Anterior Oblique Ligament, Posterior Oblique Ligament & Transverse Ligament (AKA Cooper's ligament).
Anterior Oblique Ligament is strongest & most important medial stabilizer. Protects against excessive valgus forces.

Anterior Oblique Ligament Originates from anterior inferior surface of medial epicondyle of humerus & inserts onto coronoid process of ulna.

Posterior Oblique Ligament Originates from medial epicondyle, runs posteriorly to insert onto olecranon of ulna.

Transverse Ligament Passes between anterior & posterior oblique ligaments, running from coronoid process & tip of olecranon.

Ulnar Collateral Ligament (UCL) & Radial Collateral Ligament (RCL)
Play an important role in stabilizing the joint to valgus & varus stress.
Also contributes to physiologic rotational stability of elbow joint.
