THE ELBOW-JOINT. 325 (Figs. 305 and 306) is a fan-shaped structure of unequal thickness, but its margins, which are its strongest bands, are continuous with the adjoining parts of the anterior and posterior ligaments. By its proximal end it is attached to the anterior, distal, and posterior aspects of the medial epicondyle of the humerus. By its broad distal end it is attached to the medial margin of the semilunar notch, so that the anterior band is associated principally with the medial margin of the coronoid process, and the posterior band with the medial margin of the olecranon, while the intermediate weaker portion sends its fibres downwards to join a trans- verse band, sometimes very strong, which bridges the notch between the adjoining medial margins of the coronoid process and the olecranoD.

It completes the con- tinuity of the articular capsule on the lateral side, and blends distally with the lig. annulare radii, on the surface of which its fibres may be traced both to the anterior and posterior ends of the radial notch of the ulna. Both of the collateral ligaments are intimately associated with the muscles which take origin from the medial and lateral epicondyles of the humerus. Synovial Pads of Fat (Fig. 307).—Internal to the fibrous stratum of the articular capsule, there are several pads of fat situated between it and the synovial stratum. Small pads are so placed as to lie immediately in front of the coronoid and radial fosste, but a larger one projects towards th
