Ésízületi

Ésízületi is a Hungarian term that translates to "elbow joint." It refers to the complex articulation located in the upper limb, connecting the upper arm bone (humerus) with the two forearm bones (radius and ulna). This joint is crucial for a wide range of movements, including flexion, extension, pronation, and supination of the forearm.

The elbow joint is a synovial joint, meaning it is enclosed in a capsule lined with a membrane that produces synovial fluid. This fluid lubricates the joint, reducing friction and allowing for smooth movement. The joint surfaces are covered with articular cartilage, which further cushions and protects the bones.

Several ligaments provide stability to the elbow joint, including the ulnar collateral ligament, the radial collateral ligament, and the annular ligament. Muscles and tendons also play a vital role in controlling and executing movements at the elbow.

Common conditions affecting the ésízületi include arthritis, sprains, dislocations, and fractures. These can result from trauma, overuse, or degenerative changes. Pain, swelling, and limited mobility are typical symptoms of elbow joint problems. Medical evaluation is usually necessary to diagnose and treat such conditions effectively.
