===Elbow Joint===
===Elbow Joint===
The articulation between the [[Bones and Cartilages - Horse Anatomy#Humerus|humeral]] condyle, trochlear notch of the [[Bones and Cartilages - Horse Anatomy#Radius and Ulna|ulna]] and the [[Bones and Cartilages - Horse Anatomy#Radius and Ulna|radial head]] . The joint capsule attaches to the articular surface of the condyle, the periphery of the olecranon fossa and the articular cartilage of the trochlear notch of the [[Bones and Cartilages - Horse AnatomyRadius and Ulna|ulna]]. Ligaments of the elbow include:

The joint capsule attaches to the articular surface of the condyle, the periphery of the olecranon fossa and the articular cartilage of the trochlear notch of the [[Bones and Cartilages - Horse Anatomy#Radius and Ulna|ulna]]. Ligaments of the elbow include:
*'''Lateral (radial) collateral ligament''': Attaches to the lateral [[Bones and Cartilages - Horse Anatomy#Humerus|humeral]] epicondyle, the caudal (ulnar) branch is absent in the horse.
*'''Lateral (radial) collateral ligament''': Attaches to the lateral [[Bones and Cartilages - Horse Anatomy#Humerus|humeral]] epicondyle, the caudal (ulnar) branch is absent in the horse.
*'''Medial (ulnar) collateral ligament''': Attaches to the medial [[Bones and Cartilages - Horse Anatomy#Humerus|humeral]] epicondyle and inserts on the [[Bones and Cartilages - Horse Anatomy#Radius and Ulna|ulna]] and [[Bones and Cartilages - Horse Anatomy#Radius and Ulna|radius]]. The cranial part of the ligament is the remnant of the ''pronator teres'' muscle in horses.
