The Elbow is a compound joint including:
Movement of the elbow joint is restricted to the sagittal plane. It is bounded medially and laterally by collateral ligaments betweek the humerus and radius, caudally by the olecranon ligament between the humerus and olecranon, and further enforced by the annular radial ligament. The elbow is a compound joint including:

*The point of the elbow, or the '''olecranon''' is formed by the anconeal process of the ulna inserting into the olecranon fossa of the humerus
