Lig. coUaterale mediale (short). Lig. transversum. il. brachialis. Lig. coUaterale mediale (long). Fig. 49.—Medial Aspect of the Elbow Joint. The red line indicates the line of attachment of the synovial lining of the joint caps\ile. carpus and digit, as well as into the small articulations between the head of the radius and the ulna. The medial collateral ligament (ligamentum coUaterale mediale) springs from the depression and prominence close to the articular margin of the humerus, and is divisible into two parts. The longer and more superficial (and more anterior) portion is attached to the medial border of the shaft of the radius; while the shorter, stronger, deeper, and more posterior part of the ligament ends on the prominence at the medial part of the head of the radius. The most distal fibres of the tendon of insertion of the brachialis muscle pass between the two parts of the ligament. Digitized by Microsoft®.
