In describing the joint of the horse it is convenient to include the union between the shafts of the radius and ulna as well. The opposed bony surfaces of the humerus and the radius and ulna are so moulded and adapted to each other as to coXvince the dissector that movement in the joint can take place in one plane only. The presence of strong collateral ligaments contributes to the limitation of movement to flexion and extension.
