The ElbowThe LigamentsUlnar collateral ligament (located on the medial side of the joint)
Extending from the medial epicondyle of the humerus to theproximal portion of the ulna.Prevents excessive abduction of the elbow joint.
Radial collateral ligament (located on the lateral side of the joint)
Extending from the lateral epicondyle of the humerus to the head of the radius.Prevents excessive adduction of the elbow joint.
Annular ligament from the trochlear notch of the ulnafunctions to keep radial head in touch with radial notch inulna
