Radiocarpal joint, wrist–metacarpal joints
The elbow joint (articulatio cubiti) is structurally complex because it consists of 3 simple joints enclosed within a common joint capsule:
Articulatio humeroradialis, articulatio radioulnaris proximalis, articulatio radiocarpea
Articulatio humeroulnaris, articulatio radioulnaris distalis, articulatio radiocarpea
Articulatio humeroulnaris, articulatio humeroradialis, articulatio radioulnaris distalis
Articulatio humeroulnaris, articulatio humeroradialis, articulatio radioulnaris proximalis
Articulatio humeroulnaris, articulatio radioulnaris proximalis, articulatio radiocarpea
