Corpus: Elbow

The elbow is the flexible connection between the upper arm and the forearm, enabling a range of motion essential for daily activities.

The anatomical area corresponding to the elbow is known as the cubital region. This region is subdivided into two distinct areas: the anterior and posterior cubital region. Key anatomical structures within the elbow include the elbow joint itself and the cubital fossa, a triangular area on the anterior aspect of the elbow that houses several important nerves and blood vessels.

Elbow injuries require thorough evaluation for proper diagnosis and treatment. X-rays are a primary diagnostic tool used to visualize and assess the extent of injuries in the elbow region.
