The elbow joint is a synovial joint and a classic hinge joint.
It has three bones, the humerus, radius (the thumb side) and the ulna (the little finger side) producing two joints:
1. Humeroradial joint -lateral articulation of capitulum of humerus with head of the radius.
2. Humeroulnar joint -medial articulation of trochlea of humerus with trochlear notch of the ulna.
Both components of the elbow joint are surrounded by single joint capsule and stabilized by collateral ligaments
Medial and lateral epicondyles are externally palpable bony landmarks.
The olecranon bursa ( a fluid filled sac ) is independent of elbow joint space. Inflammation is called olecranon bursitis.
Trauma to the ulnar nerve at the elbow results in unpleasant sensations in those fingers and part of hand supplied by the nerve ("funny bone"); severe injury may cause "wrist drop"

The olecranon process articulates with the humerus to form?
The olecranon process articulates with the humerus to form the elbow joint.
What type of joint located at the elbow?

What bones that form the hinge joint a your elbow?
The bones that form the hinge joint at your elbow are the humerus, ulna, and radius. The humerus is the upper arm bone, while the ulna and radius are the two forearm bones. These bones come together to allow the elbow to bend and straighten.
Does the elbow joint include a hinge joint and a gliding joint?
Yes, the elbow joint includes both a hinge joint and a gliding joint. The hinge joint allows for flexion and extension movements, while the gliding joint permits a slight amount of side-to-side movement during pronation and supination of the forearm.

What joint does the elbow form?
The elbow is an uniaxial joint. This type is a synovial joint that permits movement around only one axis and in only one plane. The articulating ends of the bones form a hinge-shaped unity that allows only flexion and extension.
Which type of joint located at the elbow?
The hinge joint is located at the elbow
